About this book
Leaving his parish in Harvey, George T. McCarthy enters army service in 1918 with a priest's wish to accompany soldiers through the hardships of war. His personal account begins with permission from Archbishop Mundelein, the pain of farewell, and a welcome among the doctors and enlisted men of Base Hospital No. 11 at Camp Dodge. Religious duty and patriotic feeling shape his descriptions of the people preparing for service overseas.
On the French front, a meal shared with Salvation Army workers offers relief while shells burst outside. Travel brings another kind of companionship: McCarthy rides a horse named Jip through autumn woods to inspect conditions near the lines and attend to burial work. These small, specific encounters give the narrative its human scale.
