About this eBook

Author Green, Horace, 1885-1943
Title The Log of a Noncombatant
Summary "The Log of a Noncombatant" by Horace Green is a personal account written during the early 20th century, specifically in 1915. This work serves as a war correspondent's memoir documenting his experiences during the tumultuous first year of World War I. The narrative follows Green, who, along with his friend Willard Luther, embarks on a perilous journey through battle zones in Belgium, shedding light on the chaos, destruction, and human suffering caused by the war. At the start of the book, Green introduces himself as a correspondent for the "New York Evening Post" and the "Boston Journal," reflecting on the events that led him to the front lines of war. The opening chapter recounts his arrival in Europe, his travels from America to Ghent, and his observations of the devastation inflicted by the conflict. Green describes the martial atmosphere of Belgian cities and the overwhelming sense of fear among civilians, emphasizing the stark contrast between the backdrop of war and the ordinary life that once existed. His vivid portrayals of encounters with soldiers, refugees, and the grim realities of towns like Termonde set the tone for a deeply personal narrative filled with profound insights into the impact of war on society.
