Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Company "A," Twenty-Third Engineers, A. E. F
The cartoons exhibited are creations of two of our talented men; the photographs were made by our own photographers, the engravings are a product of our engraver; many stories and saying are of our own origination and in each article or write-up is displayed a characteristic individuality of the writer.
The Diary will furnish a chronological record of happenings, and will probably call back to mind many thoughts of scenes in France.
We feel that the work we have done has been very essential in this war or movement, for much has depended upon the condition of roads over which motorized and horse-drawn transports could function the better toward the ultimate end.
During our sojourn in France, we were in the Zone of Advance, near the Fighting Front, until the signing of the Armistice, and have seen the operations of many of the divisions that were actually engaged in Front-line work. Here we may quote Major Wm. M. Acheson, formerly Division Engineer and Chief of Road Service of the Advance Section of American Army, speaking before the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
Major Wm. M. Acheson was formerly Division Engineer and Chief of Road Service of the Advance Section of American Armies.
