Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Adventures During the War of 1870
In speaking of our great National Society for the Relief of the Sick and Wounded in War, we have given a straightforward statement of our transactions with them. No attempt has been made to enter into any discussion as to the causes of what we consider to have been much of failure in carrying out the great work before them.
Their intentions were, undoubtedly, the noblest and best; and if, unfortunately, their services should again be required, they will have learnt wisdom and economy by the past.
That our sympathies were and are French we do not deny. We lived amongst them, and were daily witnesses of their miseries. But we have tried to do justice to all, and to record our gratitude to the officers of the German army, whose kindness, with a few exceptions, was unvarying.
