Excerpt from On the Russian Front Early every line in this book has been written to the accompaniment of guns and under conditions that made writing very difficult. There are many things I would have liked to write, but which I am not permitted to tell at present. I have had to refrain from men tioning certain places, names of certain important men, and certain dates. I have also had to curb a desire to criticize. Several of my letters to friends in England are included here. Written, as they were, immediately after the events they describe, they show, I think, my emotions as no ordinary chapters could.
