“What one Y. M. C. A. worker saw in France is told in a collection of letters written by Marian Baldwin and published under the title of ‘Canteening overseas.’ The dates on the letters run from June 30, 1917, to June 19, 1919. The first one was written on board the ship that took Miss Baldwin to France and the last one from Coblenz. Between the two are letters from Paris, Bordeaux, Aix-les-Bains, the Lorraine sector, the Argonne, the St Mihiel front, from Verdun and from Germany. All the letters are reprinted as they were originally written, except for the insertion of names of places, persons, and a few other indications, which, because of the censorship, had perforce to be omitted from the letters as mailed from Europe.”—N Y Times
“There is a gay spontaneity in parts of the book, a sincerity running through it, and more than all else it serves to reveal the effect of these dark days of service, of endurance, often of hardship upon the writer herself.”

“These letters are made vivid by a natural descriptive touch, by an ever-present sense of humor, and by an admirable spirit.”
