On the rear of the dust-jacket (which has amazingly survived) is printed a description of Empey's service : |> 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 other 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. <| On the front of the dust-jacket is this: |> Sergeant Empey now goes on to [inform] the new soldier what confronts him all the way from training camp [to the] trench He shows the mother [ and the] father, what their boy is doing each day; what they, what every American can do to help him. The Suggestions about Things Overlooked in Other Books will safeguard our boys in France. <| TITLE : First Call - "Guide Post to Berlin" AUTHOR : Arthur Guy Empey (1883 - 1963) IMPRINT : G. P.
