Book Description
No one to be seen now and my head facing I knew not where. A great, livid waste, the light of day going, and the way might be to the north or to the south. I had lost my bearings. Not far away a tank, half embedded, was getting it full tilt. The sweat stood on my dirty face. And then in that great expanse of mud and wire I spotted a little red cross on a little flag....So writes Private Alfred Willcox, of the Royal Sussex Regiment, about a July night in 1917 during the Third Battle of Ypres. His is just one of the many gripping, moving accounts in True World War I Stories -- accounts that recall all aspects of the greatest conflict the world had ever seen: the first gas and tank attacks; life in the trenches and under bombardment; going over the top and charging the enemy; fighting at Loos, Mons, and the Somme; aerial dogfights and the birth of the air force; and life as a prisoner of war.Fear and courage, dirt, pain, and death -- it's all here in True World War I Stories.
