Description:The Human Wreckage of the Battlefield as Witnessed by an American Hospital Nurse -This war has been described as -Months of boredom, punctuated by moments of intense fright.- The writer of these sketches has experienced many -months of boredom, - in a French military field hospital, situated ten kilometres behind the lines, in Belgium. During these months, the lines have not moved, either forward or backward, but have remained dead-locked, in one position. Undoubtedly, up and down the long-reaching kilometres of -Front- there has been action, and -moments of intense fright- have produced glorious deeds of valour, courage, devotion, and nobility. But when there is little or no action, there is a stagnant place, and in a stagnant place there is much ugliness. Much ugliness is churned up in the wake of mighty, moving forces. We are witnessing a phase in the evolution of humanity, a phase called War--and the slow, onward progress stirs up the slime in the shallows, and this is the Backwash of War. It is very ugly. There are many little lives foaming up in the backwash.-We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
