History of the 89th Division, U.S.A

[Uncle George]

"From its Organization in 1917, through its Operations in the World War, the Occupation of Germany and Until Demobilization in 1919. With Maps, Photographs, Official Reports, Honor and Casualty Lists, Etc." (1920)

by George H. English, Jr.

This is worth a look. Here he is on 'England in War Time':

"England, as it displayed itself, seemed short of food and low of spirit. Some British soldiers, in talking to our men, expressed the sentiment that they were sorry that we had come; that the Allies were whipped and we could not change the result; and that our coming would only prolong the war, which otherwise would have been terminated already."
