Our young friends had the rare opportunity of witnessing, at first hand, a number of these terrific duels, and the story which is most fascinatingly told is illustrated with numerous drawings of the British, French and German field pieces.
The Boy Volunteers with the Submarine Fleet

In this book the author accurately describes the submarine in action, and the many interesting features of this efficient fighting craft are made clear to the reader by a series of splendid line drawings.
The Boy Volunteers with the American Infantry
The entry of the United States into the great conflict offers the two boys their long-looked-for opportunity. The arrival of our troops abroad and the boys' experiences with them make a thrilling tale.
