Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even in the midst of the death and destruction of war there are strange and funny occurrences.

These hilarious occasions are more often than not recalled with greater ease and much mirth long after the war has ended and everyone has gone home. Their recall is made easier if only because soldiers would prefer not to recall the painful memories that come with the experience of having been in battle. Herein are over 300 short stories, anecdotes, pranks, jokes and laughable affairs recalled by servicemen after the Great War patiently collated and published with care by Carleton B. Case in 1919.

Download or read book The Old Soldier s Story written by James Whitcomb Riley and published by BoD - Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since we have had no stories to-night I will venture, Mr. President, to tell a story that I have heretofore heard at nearly all the banquets I have ever attended. It is a story simply, and you must bear with it kindly. It is a story as told by a friend of us all, who is found in all parts of all countries, who is immoderately fond of a funny story, and who, unfortunately, attempts to tell a funny story himself—one that he has been particularly delighted with. Well, he is not a story-teller, and especially he is not a funny story-teller. His funny stories, indeed, are oftentimes touchingly pathetic. But to such a story as he tells, being a good-natured man and kindly disposed, we have to listen, because we do not want to wound his feelings by telling him that we have heard that story a great number of times, and that we have heard it ably told by a great number of people from the time we were children. But, as I say, we can not hurt his feelings. We can not stop him. We can not kill him; and so the story generally proceeds.

Download or read book The Funny Side of War written by Mat Vance and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2015-06-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you've been in combat or have never been in the military, "The Funny Side" is meant for everyone. We typically only hear about heroism and tragic losses during war time, which of course happens, but what about the time between firefights? What about the rest of a person's time in the military? This book is a true story and a chronological adventure from training to being initiated into a unit to deploying to becoming a civilian again. It takes negatives and turns them into positives. If you're a civilian or haven't had an exciting time in the military, this story will show you what it's really like. If you're a combat veteran, it is the authors greatest goal to bring a smile to your face. To try to forget about the bad days and instead honor our brethren by reflecting on those ridiculous moments when we laughed ourselves to tears.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the Company of Soldiers is an entertaining and honest read. This book takes the reader behind-the-scenes of the Iraq war and offers a perspective not often seen on television news or in the newspapers. It is interesting to hear about day-to-day life in a war zone. It is also interesting to learn about the little details of the everyday life of a soldier such as how the bathroom situation works, etc. The idea of telling the narrative through a daily journal is great and offers a good variety of ups and downs since the reader lives each day with the author. This book took a lot of courage and fortitude to write."--Writer's Digest 16th Annual International Self-Published Book Awards
