With The Immortal Seventh Division

"With The Immortal Seventh Division" by Edmund John Kennedy is a recounting of wartime experiences during World War I. It shares the story of the Seventh Division of the British Expeditionary Force, particularly in the early years of the conflict, through the eyes of a chaplain major. The story begins with the author's call to duty, capturing the urgent atmosphere of mobilization, the movement of troops, and the building anxiety as the division prepares for war. Kennedy's reflections offer a look at the intense feelings and spiritual considerations that come with serving in combat, along with descriptions of soldier companionship and encounters with Belgian locals.
