An Onlooker in France 1917-1919 is a WW1 memoir that must not be considered as a serious work on life in France behind the lines, it is merely an attempt to record some certain little incidents that occurred in my own life there. The only thought I wish to convey is my sincere thanks for the wonderful opportunity that was given me to look on and see the fighting man, and to learn to revere and worship him-that is the only serious thing. I wish to express my worship and reverence to that gallant company, and to convey to those, who are left my most sincere thanks for all their marvelous kindness to me, a mere looker on.
