Nothing Glorious About War Says Chaplain Robb
Des Moines May 1. Chaplain W E Robb told the Advertising club that war is hellish and not glorious. He cited the 168th infantry experiences from Capt McHenry’s death to occupation duty at Ven Bethman-Hollweg’s castle. He said war reveals cowards, not makes men better, and recalled wartime profanity as a better expression of feeling than prayer. He praised Iowa soldiers for steadfast conduct, including patrols in No Man's Land and a lieutenant who saved 19 bodies in a trench before being killed.
