Summary: "Our Army at the Front" by Heywood Broun is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during the time of World War I. This work chronicles the experiences of the American Expeditionary Forces as they mobilized to Europe and engaged in the Great War, beginning with the landing of General Pershing in England and ultimately leading to their involvement in France. Broun provides a detailed narrative of the initial challenges faced by the American soldiers, as well as the excitement and turmoil of their entry into a theater of war. The opening of the text sets the stage for a significant moment in history: the arrival of General John J. Pershing in England aboard the ship "Baltic". This event is marked by military fanfare and a ceremonial welcome from British officials, signifying America's formal entry into the war. Broun captures the initial reactions of both the American soldiers and their British counterparts, highlighting the blend of excitement and anxiety that characterized this moment. As General Pershing meets various dignitaries and prepares for the journey to France, the text establishes the historical and emotional weight of this undertaking, signifying not just a military operation but a coalition of nations dedicated to a shared cause.
