Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leaves From an Officer's Notebook For the rest, my reflections and experiences have been those, I suppose, of many others whom war has taken from their familiar occupations and plunged into a new world. I have written them down in the faith that not novelty or sensationalism constitutes the warrant for a book, but sincerity alone. I have been careful to eliminate anything that could even remotely be accused of disclosing secrets to the enemy; and I hope I have been successful in hurting the feelings Of no one - least of all of that body Of Officers and men whom it has been my pleasure and privilege to command, and who have shown no less patience in the long period of waiting than they showed courage an d ability when put to the test of battle.
