Excerpt from With French in France and Flanders: Being the Experiences of a Chaplain Attached to a Field AmbulanceDuring our short voyage of forty-eight hours we were convoyed from Ireland to Land's End by British men-of-war and through the English Channel by French warships. At Land's End the British ship that had been watching over us passed within hailing distance, and the blue jackets' crowded to the ship's side shouting their good wishes, to which our men responded with ringing cheers.Dawn found us at Le Havre, where we disembarked-a long process, as the horses and heavy waggons were not easy to get out of the hold in a port where there was, apparently, a shortage of heavy cranes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
