PREFACE.<br />

Of the words contained in the following pages, the vast majority were collected by<br />

reading official and standard texts. The work as it stands was prepared under extreme<br />

pressure. It is hoped that this fact will be borne in mind as short<strong>com</strong>ings are<br />

discovered.<br />

I am indebted to Gen. Paul Vignal, military attache, <strong>French</strong> Embassy, for clearing<br />

up a few difficulties; to . Maj F. P. Lahm, Signal Corps, as well as to Marchand's Modern<br />

Parisian Slang, for some of the slang terms recorded; to Capt. E. L. Gruber, Field<br />

Artillery, and to Capt. M. E. de Jarny, <strong>French</strong> Embassy, for some artillery, and to<br />

Col. Wirt Robinson, <strong>Military</strong> Academy, for some electrical definitions.<br />

My best thanks are due to Sous-Lieut. Maurice Tabuteau, and to Capt. Ernest<br />

Jones, Signal Corps, for valued assistance in aeronautical nomenclature.<br />

C. DE W. W.<br />

WEST POINT, N. Y., October 15, 1917.<br />
