"So far as I know, this is the first intimate and | authentic account of the life of the colored soldier who | fought for his country in France. The book is not | only a good narrative, but it is educational and con- | tains
many a bit of information, many a bit of information, many an anecdote | which must make the colored soldier consider it is a | guide book to memory. Of course to the stay-at-home, | it is indispensable." | Jessie Fausett in THE CRISIS.
"The Hunton-Johnson collaboration is a worthy | addition to the valuable works on the world fight, and | what is more, it is written much more interestingly than | the average world war history." | BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE.
"There are some moving passages in this record, | and some memorable word pictures." | THE NEW YORK GLOBE
"The book in hand is most admirably written and | covers a multitude of affairs." | THE NEW YORL WORLD.

"For they also sketch the history of the Negro Sol- | dier in France--manly, patient, efficient, heroic, whether | as combat troops, or S.O.S. units, or in the terrible task to which they alone of all Americans were as- | signed--that of digging up the American corpses that | had been dead for months, and burying them again at | Romagne.
Here will be found a tale of heroism fit to | rank with any in the records of the ages." Hubert Harrison in THE NEGRO WORLD.
"The story is so interestingly told that it contains | the elements of several movie scenarios. There are | pathos, humor, tragedy, and some extremely clever | situations depicted." | THE BILLBOARD.
"One cause of bitterness remained, however, and | pursued them through France: The race prejudice of | the white Americans. Such at least is the indictment | set forth in detail in a book entitled, 'Two Colored | Women with the American Expeditionary Forces." | CURRENT HISTORY.
"Here is a vivid story of a little known chapter of | 'Y' work, and an enlightening account of the 150,000 | Negro citizens who honorably bore their part side by | side with men of different blood, who together made | up the A.E.F." | RED TRIANGLE LEAGUE BULLETIN.
