Kerr Eby
In the Open, ca 1924-27
Eby hints at the vulnerability of soldiers who transport a seventy-five-millimeter cannon across an apparently deserted battlefield: forces hidden in trenches or positioned miles behind the lines were likely to fire shells on enemy troops who pushed ahead in daylight.
In the Open and Daw, the 75's Follow Up (above) also appeared in Eby's book WAR, in which the confirmed pacifist admits that "of late years I have had a growing feeling that we who known something of what war means should get up on our hind legs and do or say what we can." |
