When I saw the title, I immediately knew who it was for, and I
identified with that audience. So I knew I had to read the recap.

The soldiers presented a pathetic but inspiring spectacle. The
hospitals were crowded with sick and wounded; the walls were
gradually crumbling under incessant shell fire, yet that garrison

- from "The Airship Boys in the Great War", De Lysle F. Cass, 1915.
