Evangeline Booth / Grace Livingston Hill
The War Romance of the Salvation Army is a book written by Evangeline Booth that tells the story of the Salvation Army’s involvement in World War I. The book is a memoir and a historical account of the Army’s work during the war, including their efforts to provide aid and comfort to soldiers on the front lines. Booth, who was the daughter of the founder of the Salvation Army, recounts her experiences as a Salvation Army officer and her travels to France, Belgium, and other parts of Europe during the war. She also describes the challenges and dangers faced by the Army’s workers, including the risk of being caught in enemy fire and the difficulties of working in war-torn areas. The book is a testament to the bravery and dedication of the Salvation Army’s workers and their commitment to serving others in times of crisis. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Salvation Army and its role in World War I.He went on. He dozed, only to be sharply awakened by a truck which almost ran him down. He must be more careful, he thought to himself, feeling utterly alone and miserable. But in spite of his resolution his eyes soon closed again. He was awakened, this time by his horse stumbling over some unseen obstacle. He could see nothing in any direction. The blackness and rain shut him in like a fog. He turned at right angles to find the trees which lined the road, but there were no trees. He swung his horse around and went in the other direction, but he found no trees--only an impenetrable darkness which pressed in upon him with a heaviness which might almost have been weighed. He was lost--utterly lost.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
