Father Duffy's Story

On one occasion, after having had to swallow an exceptionally large dose of complimentary eloquence, I stated that I was going to borrow a title for my book from my favorite philosopher, Mr. Dooley, and call it "Alone in Europe," The title that has been given it sounds almost as egoistic as that; but there will be found in these pages other names than my own. Indeed, objection may be made from a literary point of view that the book bristles with names. I could not write my story otherwise. I knew these men, and what they did, and my only regret is that I have undoubtedly overlooked some, especially amongst replacements, whose names and deeds should be mentioned. Battles are not fought by commanding officers alone,>not even by chaplains unaided; and the men who do the fighting usually get little personal credit for their valor.Duffy, Francis P. is the author of 'Father Duffy's Story', published 2007 under ISBN 9781594628665 and ISBN 1594628661.
