BETWEEN THE BIG PARADES."
THE YPRES TIMES
By Franklin W. Ward.
A gripping war story of the lives, fortunes and misfortunes of soldiers during the
actual hostilities abroad. The characters, from officers of high rank to privates,
pulsate with action, sometimes in laugh-evoking comedy and witticism, sometimes
in tear-bringing pathos and tragedy.
A war tale built around the New York National Guard (27th American
Division), commanded by General J. F. O'Ryan, during the Great War, and which
served with distinction with the British Forces under the command of the late
Field-Marshal Viscount Plumer in the Immortal Ypres Salient.
