FOREWORD.
Here is a literary product which is ct
once an admirable example of the forcc
of simple realism in the description of
things which arc difficult of ordinary
comprehension, and a handbook and
guide for tccry prospective soldier of
our armies.
Sergeant McClintock has not written
stories about the war. lie has written
the war itself, reducing it, one might
almost say, to words of one syllable,
yet bringing tn the reader's view, clear
ly and vividly, the various aspects of
the great struggle, hidden to all except
the man who is actually a part of it.
His contribution to the history of the
war must bo classed as one which
shines with a new light.
It is fascinating in its simplicity, yet
thrilling in its convincing detail. It
leads one, with evcrgruring end com
pelling interest, from a casual conver
sation in a hotel in Xcw York through
scenes of strife and Hood and thrilling
convict to the moment when the king
and queen of England came to the bed
side of a Kentucky youth in a London
hospital to thank him in the name of
their nation for his services in the
cause trhi' h we hare now comc to rec
ognize as that of world humanity.
Sergeant McClinlock received the Dis
tinguished Conduct medal before leav
ing England for home on leave. He i-i
returning to accept a commission in the
Canadian overseas forces. The story is
told in McClintoek's own unadorned
way. ,
I DON'T lay claim to being much of
a writer, aud up till now I have
never felt the call to write any
thing about my experiences with the
Canadian troops in Belgium and
France, because I have realized that
a great many other men saw quite as
much as I did and could beat me tell
in? about it. Of course I believed that
my experience was worth relating, and
1 thought that the matter published In
the newspapers by professional writ
ers sort of missed the essentials and
lacked the spirit of the "ditches" In a
good nittuy ways in spite of its excel
lent literary style, but 1 didn't see any
reason why it was up to me to make
an effort as a war historian until now.
Now there is a reason, as I look at It
I believe I can show the two or three
miliums of my fellow countrymen who
will be "out there" before this war is
over what they are going to be up
against and what they ought to pre
pare for personally and Individually.
That is as far as 1 am goiug to go In
the way of excuse, explanation or com
"Boys, fop God'* sake don't call me
Harry. Here comes the general!"
ment, call It what you will. The rest
of my story Is a simple relation of
facts and occurrences In the order in
which they came to my notice and hap
pened to me. It may start off a little
slowly and Jerkily, Jnst as we did, not
knowing what was coming to us. I'd
like to add that it got quite hot enough
to suit me later several times. There
fore, as my effort is going to be to
carry you right along with me in this
account of my experiences, don't be
impatient if nothing very important
seems to come off at Orst I felt 0 lit
tle ennui myself at the getaway. But
that was certainly one tblug that didn't
annoy me later.
In the latter part cf October, 1913, 1
decided that the United States ought
to be lighting along with England and
France on account of the way Belgium
had been treated, if for no other reason.
As there seemed to be a considerable
division of opinion on this point among
the people at home, I came to the con
clusion that any man who was free,
white and twenty-one and felt as I did
ought to go over and get Into it single
handed on the side where his convic
tions led him, if there wasn't some par
ticular reason why he couldn't. There
fore I said goodby to my parents and
friends in Lexington and started for
New York with tho idea of sailing for
France and joining the Foreign legion
of the French army.
Dccides to Qo to Canada.
A couple of nights after I got to New
York I fell into conversation In the
Knickerbocker bar with a chap who
was In the re-enforcement company of
Princess I'at's regiment of tho Cana
dian forces. After my talk with him
I decided to go up to Canada and look
things over. I arrived at the Windsor
hotel. In Montreal, at 8 o'clock In the
morning a couple of days later, and at
10 o'clock that morning I was sworn
In as a private in the Canadian Grena
dier guards. Eighty-seventh overseas
battalion, IJeutenant Colonel P. 8.
Melgheu commanding. They were Just
getting under way, making soldiers out
of the troops I enlisted with, and dis
cipline was quite las.
They at once gave me a week's leave
to come down to New York and settle
up some personal affairs, and I over
stayed It five days. All that my com
pany commander said to me when 1
got back was that I seemed to have
picked up Canadian habits very quick
ly. At a review one day in our train
ing camp I heard a major say:
"Boys, for God's sake don't call mo
Harry or spit in the ranks. Here comes
the general!"
We found out eventually that there
was a reason for the slackness of dis
cipline. Tho trouble was that men
would enlist to get $1.10 a day with
out working for it and would desert
as soon as any one made it unpleasant
for them. Our officers knew what they
were about. Conditions changed in
stantly we went on shipboard. Disci
pline tightened up on us like a tie rope
on a colt
We trained in a sort of casual, easy
way hi Canada from Nov. 4 to the fol
lowing April. We had a good deal of
trouble keeping our battalion up to
strength, and I was sent out several
times with other "noncoms" on a re
cruiting detail. While we were in the
training camp at St. John's I made the
acquaintance of a young Canadian who
became my "pal." He was Campbell
McFaiiand, nephew of George McFar
land, the actor who Is so well known
on the American musical stage. He
was a sergeant. When I first knew
him he was one of the most delightful
and amusing young fellows you could
imagine.
The war cnr.ntroc! nirn cnurei.v. ««.
became extremely cviict find seemed to
1>e borne down with the sense of the
terrible things which he saw. He nev
er lost the pood fellowship which was
Inherent In him and was always ready
to do anything to oblige me, but ,he
formed llie habit of fitting. alono and
silent, for l:ov.r3 at a time, just think
ing. It seemed as if he had a premoni
tion about himself, though he never
showed fear and never spoke of the
dangers we were going Into, as the
other fellows did. He was killed In
the Somme action in which I was
wounded.
I also had been made a sergeant on
account of the fact that I hpd been
at school in the Virginia Military In
stitute—that Is, I was an acting ser
geant. It was explained to me that
my appointment would have to be
confirmed in England and then recon
, firmed after three months' service in
France. Under the regulations of the
Canadian forces a noncommissioned
officer, after final confirmation in his
i grade, can be reduced to the ranks
only by a general conrt martial^ though
he can escape a court martial, when
confronted with chnrges. by reverting
to the ranks at his own request.
Forty-two hundred of us sailed
England on the Empress of Britain,
sister ship to the Empress of Ireland,
which was sunk in the St. Lawrence
river. The steamer was, of course,
very crowded and uncomfortable, and
the eight day trip-'across was most un
pleasant. We had tripe to eat until
we were sick of the sight of it A
sergeant reported one morning, "ESght
men and twenty-two breakfasts ab
sent." Therei were two other troop
ships in our convoy, the Baltic and thq
Metasrama. A British cruiser escorted
us until we were 4b0 miles off the coast
of Ireland. Then each ship picked up
a destroyer which had come out to
meet her. At that time a notice was
posted in the parser's offlcs Informing
us that we were in the war stone and
that the ship would not stop for any
thing, even for a man overboard. That
day a soldier fell off the Metagama
with $700 in his pocket, and the; ship
never even hesitated. They left him
where he had no chance la the world
to spend his money.
