The Daredevil of the Army: Experiences as a Buzzer and Dispatch Rider is a memoir written by Austin Patrick Corcoran and originally published in 1918. The book recounts Corcoran's experiences as a soldier in the United States Army during World War I, specifically his role as a buzzer (telegraph operator) and dispatch rider. Corcoran's memoir provides a first-hand account of the dangerous and often life-threatening duties of a buzzer and dispatch rider during the war. He describes the challenges of maintaining communication lines in the midst of battle, as well as the physical and mental toll that the job took on him and his fellow soldiers. In addition to detailing his experiences on the front lines, Corcoran also reflects on the broader context of the war and its impact on the world. He offers insights into the attitudes and beliefs of soldiers at the time, as well as the political and social factors that led to the conflict. Overall, The Daredevil of the Army is a vivid and compelling account of one soldier's experiences in World War I, providing a valuable window into the realities of war and the sacrifices made by those who fought in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
