Abstract

Christmas Books for Soldiers
November 1, 1917 issue

add to cart   close window

In the issue of lastweek, the periodical called attention to an enterprise, started in England directly after the beginning of the war, which succeeded in placing a vast number of books at the disposal of the soldiers at the front. The range of the soldiers' interests was shown to be unexpectedly wide. It is clear from this exhibit that the comfort brought to the trenches and hospitals by books is one which should not be permitted to lapse through indifference on the part of those at home. The Christmas season is approaching, as the Government reminds us by the announcement that remembrances in order to reach our men in France by Christmas day must be posted not later than November 15, 1917.
