The Fight for the Argonne: Personal Experiences of A Y Man (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press)

"It was on the road from Neufchateau to La Foche, where Base Hospital 117 was located, that I first became acquainted with the author of this book. He evidently knew how to run a Ford camionette, even though it was not in just the shape in which it left the factory. I remember that I asked him what he did for a living back in the States-those service uniforms were great levelers-and he said he was a parson. "But now you are a chauffeur, " I objected. "Well, you see, " he said, "when I first came over they asked me to fill out blanks indicating what I could do, and in that statement I admitted that I could run a car. I also said I could preach. They tried me out as a chauffeur and liked my work so well that they said they would stand pat on that; they had never heard me preach. ""
