tailieunhanh - Dixmude The epic of the French marines (October 17-November 10, 1914)

Praise, they say, is stricken dumb by the greatest names, and also, we may add, by the greatest deeds. It is only by the bare simplicity of faithful narrative that we can hope not to belittle these. But yesterday the public had no knowledge of the great, heroic things accomplished by the Brigade of Marines (Fusiliers Marins). They were hidden under a confused mass of notes, communiqués, instructions and plans of operations, private letters, and newspaper articles. It has been no easy task to bring them to light--the discreet light permitted by the censorship. Everything seems simple and obvious to those who can look at facts. | Dixmude by Charles Le Goffic 1 Dixmude by Charles Le Goffic The Project Gutenberg EBook of Dixmude by Charles Le Goffic This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
