FOREWORD
We trust that any errors or omissions which may be found in this book will be overlooked, as due to the nature of the subject it was particularly difficult to make a perfect and complete record.
Had it been possible in November, 1917, to have foreseen the futures of all the 5th Company men and published these records at that time, this book would undoubtedly have been of far greater interest than it is at present. We hope, however, that even now it will be of lasting value as a reminder of old friends and stirring times.
