Summary

In the volume, the former Dean of the American Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Paris Samuel N. Watson recounts his experiences across America and Europe in his many years in the priesthood. Perhaps of particular interest are his reminiscences of the First World War, from which period the book takes its title and forms the majority of the pages. The Dean was a well-known and well respected pillar of the expatriate American community in Paris. Through his contacts and by his charm and grace he organized a great deal of the aid effort that flowed through the Church during World War One. An interesting snapshot of the Great War from a different perspective than the many frontline accounts
