Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Reading Militia in the Great War
High traditions count for much whether in families or in bodies politic. The proud mili tary record of fifteen centuries steeled the arm of a sensitive, high strung people, called upon to defend Verdun. And doubtless the Berks boys who fought in France in the trying summer of 1918 were conscious that they were main taining the high standard set by their forefathers in the Revolution, in 1812, at Chapultepec and on the Rapidan.
