On Duty and Off: Letters of Elizabeth Cabot Putnam, Written in France, May 1917 to September 1918 is a collection of personal letters written by Elizabeth Cabot Putnam during her time serving as a volunteer with the American Red Cross in France during World War I. The letters were written between May 1917 and September 1918, and provide a unique perspective on the war and the daily life of a volunteer nurse. Putnam’s letters are filled with vivid descriptions of her experiences working in hospitals and field units, as well as her observations of the French people and their culture. She also writes about her personal life, including her relationships with fellow volunteers and her family back home. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of a woman who was dedicated to serving others and who played an important role in the war effort. Published in 1919, On Duty and Off remains a valuable historical document that sheds light on a pivotal moment in world history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
