Wake, War And Waiting

INTRODUCTION Because wars break into the rage of battle very suddenly after the brooding of the war-clouds, and after a long siege of battle the combat ceased almost as abruptly as it began, I have tried to paint a word picture that will not let the reader forget this was as rapidly as it began or ended. The blood-strewn battle front; the cruel pain of a body broken by war; the long anxiety of the days spent in waiting for the dawn of peace; the sufEering of life without liberty; the agony of existing on an impossible fare all add up to this broken body that if calling together in his feeble way of a resume of the days of "Wake, War, and Waiting." These pages that follow are the things which I am able to collect through a memory which is not good after this lengthy experience. Whether first hand or hearsay (the which I am not able to separate at this time), the information is intended only to give a picture of the aftermath and is not intended for authentic or statistical use. I hope that this work will give the reader a better understanding of the totality of war and help to influence others in the effort to establish peace for the sake of all.
