As I had no previous military experience, I joined the ranks.\u201d&nbsp;<\/i>Price went&nbsp;on to ask Faunce\u2019s pardon for the paper and pencil, explaining that &#8220;<i>Sitting on the ground in a \u201cdugout\u201d with some shrapnel and rifle grenades coming my way is not conducive to what Professor Damon used to call \u201ccoherence, emphasis, unity and force.\u201d&nbsp;<\/i>Price ended the letter by informing Faunce that&nbsp;<i>\u201cWe are getting a Battalion magazine of which I am editor.
