Dr. Dudley
returns home
Esther and
Gerry Dudley, c. 1919
Captain Dudley carefully avoided
all personal references
and studiously avoided the pronoun ‘I.’ He is evidently another of the group
of fighters (medical and
military) who, while they took an active part in the war, had rather not tell of their
experiences. Men of this type are the kind who perform the deeds for which many of the idle, boasting
type claim credit. The physician’s story, despite this lack of personal
reference, was
highly interesting, and his hearers were extremely sorry when the forty-minute period
was over.
