Notes:

Clarence Van Schaick Mitchell was born in New York and was attending Princeton University when he decided to volunteer to serve the French Army in 1914 to fight in a war “that was a crusade against a nation gone mad” (Mitchell 1920, 7). After one year of service, he returned to the United States and received his law degree from Harvard Law School in 1917. Once the United States entered World War I, C.V.S. Mitchell enlisted in the Army and went through officer training at Officers Training Camp in Plattsburgh, New York. In 1918, he returned to France and was a liaison officer for the French General Noel Edouard de Castelnau. He chronicled this experience in his letters home, which were published as a book titled Letters from a Liaison Officer by Princeton University Press in 1920. C.V.S Mitchell returned to the United States and was a lawyer at his father’s law firm until he reenlisted in 1943.
This time, C.V.S. Mitchell was sent to the Mediterranean theater of operations and spent the majority of the war in Casablanca, Oran, and Corsica.
