Excerpt from A Blue Ridge Memoir: And the Last Drive and Death of Major G. H. H. Emory
We remained in dock a full two days after embarking, dur ing which time no one was allowed to leave the ship or to mention his location in a letter. On a fine Sunday afternoon we started off, almost without warning, and in spite of our impatience at the delay, it gave us quite a shock, a mixture of a thrill of excitement and a sinking sensation, to see America getting away from us. The sights of the harbor, a change indeed from the deadly barracks and sand of the past eight months, kept our thoughts busy, but there was not a man who did not look at that receding land at least once and wonder if he would see it again.

Excerpt from A Blue Ridge Memoir: And the Last Drive and Death of Major G. H. H. Emory
The following narrative does not purport to be in any sense a battalion, company, or even a platoon history. It was written at odd times during the February and March following the Armistice, with the double purpose of killing some of the time that hung heavy on our hands during that dull period of waiting, and of preserving for personal and family records the writer's war experiences. It omits many of the most noteworthy things done by men of "I" Company and by other units simply because it is an eye-witness narrative - a mere expanded diary - and the writer did not happen to witness them. Its only excuse for publication is the fact that it does bring in partial accounts of some of the greatest events in which the 320th Infantry took part, and glimpses of the lives and deaths of some of our comrades whose lives and deaths are worthy of record.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to the heart of World War I, offering a vivid firsthand account of the author's experiences as a lieutenant in the American Expeditionary Forces. The author shares his initial journey to Europe, his training with the British Army, and his gradual immersion into the harsh realities of trench warfare. The excerpt provides glimpses of the anxieties and unexpected humor that permeated the lives of soldiers, highlighting the contrast between the idealism of joining the war effort and the day-to-day routines of a conflict seemingly without end. The author's exploration of the complex relationship between American and British soldiers adds a fascinating layer to this narrative. His reflections on the cultural differences and initial misunderstandings between the two armies offer a nuanced perspective on the realities of the Allied partnership during the war. The book's insightful observations on the impact of war on the individual soldier's psyche, on the nature of friendship in the face of danger, and on the realities of trench life make this a compelling and informative read. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
