Excerpt from Observations of a Contract Surgeon
My wife soon engaged pleasant rooms in Battle Creek, and although work in the camp was strenuous, my colleagues were pleasant fellows, and the homecoming every afternoon was the reverse of disagreeable. The only drawback to the life of the camp was the thought which would come into my mind every day that I was examining men to ascertain whether they were fit to be shot by German snipers.
