Excerpt from The Haversack and Ditty Box
Once more I beg to emphasize that this volume is published for the men about whom it is written, the personnel of the army and the navy, and if they are satisfied with it, I shall be content. Should it find its way to individual members of the general community as a souvenir from him, I trust that it will awaken a better understanding of the enlisted man, his humorous and his serious sides, rather than his faults.
