Our new book "Evacuation Ambulance Company #8 in World War One" based on the diaries, letter and photos of Frank K. Frankenfield will be available after September 12th. It is the personal account of a mechanic in an Evacuation Ambulance Company during the last year of the war. This is the kind of personal account that we can no longer get directly from the Veterans of this conflict.


Copies can be ordered directly from the authors at [email protected], the cover price on the hard bound edition is $49.95 and shipping with in the US is free.

Congrats Gus! As I said previously, welcome to the ranks of "published authors on subjects very few will care about because the world is full of vapid people with no interest in history."
 
Thanks again Peter, I sent that review to my PR person, I did send the subsequent one as well. Years ago, we needed a letter of reference to host an exchange student, a friend wrote two, the first said she did not think that we were ax murderers and that we had hosted students before and none of them and died. She also wrote a standard leter of reference. We sent both, she got a call from the organization to explain the first letter. I thought that it was a really good reference.
 
Hi Gus,

Congratulations on your book, it looks like a good read! =D> :bravo:

I'll have to buy a copy.

This past winter I enjoyed reading a couple of WW1 medical related books:

"Cellars of Marcelcave: A Yank Doctor in the BEF", about a doctor that was from a town about an hour away from where I grew up.

"A Doctor In The Great War" by Andrew Davidson. Another good British perspective, loaded with lots of photos taken by medical officer Fred Davidson.

Best Regards,

Alan
 
Hey Alan,
Another great book is "With the Armies of the Tsar" by Florence Farmborough about a young English woman who was in Moscow in 1914 and joined the Russian Red Cross and served on all three eastern fronts. Her over view of the war is excellent.
I will have copies of the book at SOS, maybe even the ambulance.

oh I like to read this one, and congratulations on your book!
 
Thank you.
Miss. Farmborough's book is also illustrated with photographs that she took herself, and add an insight into the narrative.
 
Having just had the privilege of reading Gus and Maggie's book I can happily report that it is a fantastic insight into day to day life during the latter stages of the Great War from the perspective of the guys from Evacuation Ambulance Company No8 . The photographs are superb and having many captioned with subjects listed is the icing on the cake. The dairy entry's, letters home and references all bring the book to life. I feel that they have done an excellent job of ensuring the story of these people has been preserved for future generations. If you have an interest in the history of the Great War, in particular the story of the average man on the ground this is well worth a read.
Thank you Gus and Maggie, your book is an inspiration.
