A member of Battery D of the 311th Field Artillery tells his unit’s war from enlistment and drill camp in America to the artillery schools and front lines of France. He records box-car journeys, French towns such as Montmorillon and Sombernon, cooties, mess lines and the friends buried overseas, with the slang and humour of the men themselves.
A characteristic doughboy unit history, valuable for family historians and anyone interested in the American Expeditionary Forces. Download the free EPUB.
