“Almost every person or maybe every person who served in the Army during the periods covered, will look at this book and see something that brings back memories. . . . I have no doubt at all that one or more of the photographs in this book will similarly jog the memories of a great many readers. Pleasantly, one hopes. . . . Colonel Raugh, with this book, has made a minor but valuable and interesting contribution to military history.”
