Coming from diverse economic and racial backgrounds, and representing all branches of the military — machine gunners, cooks, fliers, infantrymen, and stretcher-bearers—they are the unsung heroes who, as young men, muddled through the overwhelming experience of a major war. With astonishing clarity of detail, and often with wit and humor, they recall hectic days in boot camp, long days on the troopships with the threat of German submarines, memories of bawdy songs and jokes in the trenches, the gas attacks, the waiting and the dying.
