FIRST CALL

BY

ARTHUR GUY EMPEY

Author of “OVER THE TOP”

12°. Illustrated. $1.50 (By mail, $1.65)

In the amazingly vivid and simple way that has made Over the Top the most widely read and talked of book in America, and the most successful war book in all history, Empey tells the new soldiers

What they want to know What they ought to know What they’ll have to know

and what their parents, sweethearts, wives, and all Americans, will want to know, and can do to help.

A practical book by an American who has been through it all.

The chapters headed “Smokes” and “Thank God the Stretcher Bearers” will stand among the war classics.

Here is advice, here are suggestions, overlooked in other books, that will safeguard our boys in France.

IT IS THE REAL STUFF

OVER THE TOP

BY AN AMERICAN SOLDIER WHO WENT

ARTHUR GUY EMPEY MACHINE GUNNER, SERVING IN FRANCE

AUTHOR OF “FIRST CALL”

For a year and a half, until he fell wounded in No Man’s Land, this American soldier saw more actual fighting and real warfare than any war correspondent who has written about the war. His experiences are grim, but they are thrilling and lightened by a touch of humor as original as the Soldiers Three. And they are true.
