Description

He Charged AloneFrank Gaffney was a 33 year old papermaker from Western New York when America entered the Great War in 1917. While his age exempted him from serving in the military, Gaffney ran to the colors anyway. He fought bravely on Belgian and French battlefields as a U. S. Army soldier with the 27th Division's 108th Infantry Regiment. On September 29, 1918, Gaffney singlehandedly breached a section of Germany's Hindenburg Line, coming away with 80 prisoners.

Frank Gaffney was a 33-year-old papermaker from Western New York when America entered the Great War in 1917. While his age exempted him from serving in the military, Gaffney ran to the colors anyway. He fought bravely on Belgian and French battlefields as a U.S. Army soldier with the 27th Division's 108th Infantry Regiment. On September 29, 1918, Gaffney singlehandedly breached a section of Germany's Hindenburg Line, coming away with 80 prisoners. Six grateful nations recognized his bravery, including his own. In June 1919, the United States awarded him the Medal of Honor. Years later, the 27th Division's commanding general, Maj. Gen. John F. O'Ryan, wrote of Gaffney, "Éno one man had performed more daring exploits and had exercised a bigger influence upon those about him by the gallantry of his conduct."

In He Charged Alone, John Strasburg chronicles the life of a First World War American soldier whose bravery was once compared to that of the legendary Sergeant Alvin York. To tell the story, the author weaves together GaffneyÕs personal correspondence with military/government records, newspaper accounts, and published unit histories. Nearly fifty illustrationsÑphotographs and mapsÑaugment the narrative.

Much of the book focuses on Gaffney's military service, heroism on the battlefield, and subsequent rehabilitation from a combat injury he received in the war's closing days, but not overlooked are Gaffney's upbringing and how he managed the burden that comes with being a Medal of Honor recipient. At its core, this book memorializes a true American hero from New York State who in life was admired by people across the country but in death has been nearly forgotten. In He Charged Alone, Frank Gaffney's legacy returns to the fore, where it belongs.

Very shiny, very pointy
Size: 11, Color: Black, Size: 11, Color: Black
I'm actually glad I oversized these a bit. These are pointed oxfords with an interesting diamond or scale like pattern on them. Not typically my usual style but it is nice to switch it up every now and again. At an 11 they fit, though I am usually a 10.5 and there are rough bits on the inside I'll have to apply moleskine to. Not really bits that are rough for the shoe themselves, just parts where they don't fit my particular feet right. Other than those bits they were okay as far as comfortability. I wouldn't go walking super far in them or anything, but for a day at the office or for a restaurant or something like that they are perfectly serviceable. I don't think they will hold up in the long term as I do see areas where the construction is a bit lacking. The padding in particular needs some work. I imagine I will be able to keep them around a bit longer with some glue re-application (this is easy to do, and generally if you are anything like me the sole tends to separate on shoes first). Overall I think they are an okay value here. They aren't really comfortable enough for me to be a daily driver kind of shoe, but for a special occasion and to fit a particular outfit they are nice to have in rotation.

Stylish & Comfortable
Size: 10, Color: Black
These men’s dress shoes offer a sleek and modern look. I used them for formal wear, and they complemented the outfit nicely. The design is polished and professional. They stand out. The fit is comfortable for extended wear. The materials feel durable and supportive. The sole provides good traction. That’s important. They are versatile for both business and formal events. The finish holds up well over time. They maintain their appearance. Very reliable. Overall, these are stylish and practical shoes. They combine comfort with design. I would recommend them. Great value.
