"With the Russian Army", by Robert R. McCormick, published by MacMillan Company, New York, First Edition, Second Printing. 1915 is imprinted on the bottom of the title page. Published September 1915. Reprinted September 1915, is stated on the copyright page. No other printings listed.

Robert Rutherford "Colonel" McCormick (July 30, 1880 - April 1, 1955) was a member of the McCormick family of Chicago who became a lawyer, Republican Chicago alderman, distinguished U.S. Army officer in World War I, and eventually owner and publisher of the Chicago Tribune newspaper.

McCormick went to Europe as a war correspondent for the Tribune in February 1915, early in World War I. He interviewed Tsar Nicholas, Prime Minister H. H. Asquith, and First Lord of the Admiralty Winston Churchill. McCormick also visited (and was under fire on) both the Eastern and Western Fronts. Using connections his father had made while ambassador to Russia, McCormick attended formal dinners with Grand Duke Nicholas and Grand Duke Peter.

As a Chicago Tribune war correspondent, he visited the Eastern Front in 1915. There, he visited various combat units of the tsarist Russian Army and observed several battles between the Russian and German armies. He was the first Allied emissary to actually see the Russian Front's conditions.
