"A Doctor in France, 1917-1919: The Diary of Harold Barclay" by Harold Barclay is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This diary chronicles the experiences of Dr. Barclay during World War I as he serves as a physician with the American Expeditionary Forces in France. It likely captures the complexities of wartime medicine alongside the emotional and physical toll on soldiers and civilians alike. At the start of the
diary, Harold Barclay describes the anticipation and preparations for his deployment to France as part of the Roosevelt Hospital Unit. He recounts the flurry of activity as officers and enlisted men gather at Roosevelt Hospital, preparing for their imminent departure. While the atmosphere is charged with excitement, there is also an undercurrent of anxiety as he reflects on his previous military experiences and the uncertain nature of war. As he embarks on the journey across the Atlantic, Barclay’s observations provide insights into military life, camaraderie among soldiers, and the looming reality of the conflict awaiting them in France.
