With Our Soldiers in France

A firsthand account by a YMCA organiser recounts support work for soldiers in Europe during the great war, including visits to front lines, base camps, and allied formations. It portrays huts and headquarters that offered music, performances, refreshments, and supervised recreation, and describes hospital visits and logistical efforts to provide hotels, hostels, and mountain resorts for wholesome leave. Meetings combine popular songs and humor with moral appeals, calls to resist drink and vice, and invitations to pledge spiritual commitment. The narrative balances practical organization of comforts with reflections on the moral and religious needs of men at war.
