Book Review

The Manual for Soldiers in France of Mr. Fuffier is a clearly thought out piece of work, of high value to those wishing to obtain a swift and accurate access to the idioms of daily conversation, of army usage, of social need. The words and phrases are well chosen, the presentation is intelligent.

The book could have been written only by a person who understands the temperaments, the customs, the daily life of the respective nations. The chapter on slang is of unusual popular interest as well as of service in apprehending the speech of the Poilu.

The entire pamphlet is a contribution to the international goodwill between France, England and the United States.
