Annotation
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This booklet is not intended as a contribution to either literature or history. It is intended as a mere token of remembrance among comrades. As memory reaches back through the years, my heart turns to those comrades of mine who, in the midst of one of the most deadly conflicts the world has ever known, volunteered to go as soldiers on a special service, the nature of which none of them knew. They only knew that they were going in the service of their country, but they also knew that in that day, wherever men followed the old flag, death trod on the heels of duty. It seems to me that at that stage of the war, men who volunteered for an unknown and special service were entitled to as much credit as if they had volunteered in a forlorn hope.<br><br>They went, expecting to face danger, and were disappointed when they were denied that chance. It has taken years to efface that disappointment and bring to them a tardy realization that their service was as honorable as if they had actually challenged death on the field of battle.
