To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Until May, 1918, almost all of our troops were em- barked in our own Naval transports ; but after that date the call for more men became so urgent that the great British liners were called in to assist. All hands had to pull together to defeat the German armies which were overrunning France. It was a case of the Allies ' domina- tion or downfall. As many of the British ships had been taking over Canadian troops, they were ready to receive and transport our soldiers. From first to last 196 Brit-... ish vessels were employed in this work.
On July 1st, a year after the operation began, the total number of troops in France and embarked for France, was 1,029,003 ; of these 456,854 had been sent over in British ships; 524,457 in American ships, 18,476 in French and Italian ships, and 29,218 in Italian ships leased by the British government. On June 5, 1918, I had the gratification of addressing the below quoted com- mendatory letter to the personnel of the Cruiser and Transport Force upon the completion of the first year of service: *'At the end of our first year of sei'vice as the Cruiser and Transport Force, I desire to congratu- late the Flag Officers, Captains, officers and enlisted men on the excellent work they have accomplished, and to express my personal as well as official appre- 00 HISTORY OF TRANSPORT SERVICE elation of their splendid loyalty and cooperation in all the exacting, arduous and hazardous duties that have been assigned to us.
