GUIDE FOR READERS
ОглавлениеThis book is in five parts.
Part I. deals with preliminaries and military hospital work in Bulgaria, Belgium, France, and Serbia.
Part II. deals with roadside tent dispensary work in Serbia.
Part III. is a diary of the Serbian retreat.
Part IV. discusses:
(a) The war work of women. (b) Serbian character. (e) The evils of war.
Part V. comprises maps and letters and lists of personnel.
The title of the book is taken from Genesis iii. 22-24. Readers will understand that Part III. does not attempt to deal with the Serbian retreat as a whole; materials for this were not available. It describes the day to day doings of one small segment of the historical mosaic. The book has many imperfections, but if something of the spirit of the Serbian nation shines through its pages, it will have served its purpose.
