Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Going and Coming as a Doughboy As our sixteen-car train passed through Seattle we shook hands with hundreds of pretty girls who swarmed along the sides of the train. We took a run in Spokane the next morning. At Troy, Montana, the people turned out with fruit and candy. Minot, North Dakota, met us at 11 o'clock at night with hot coffee and a regular banquet, anything almost that we wanted. We paraded in Minneapolis for the exercise. This stunt was repeated at St. Thomas, Ontario, and at Niagara Falls, where we crossed over to the American side. At Camp Mills I was assigned to C0. K, 161 Infantry, made up mostly of the Washington National Guard. My first task was carrying wood for the kitchen. This work was interrupted frequently by drill calls, various shots in the arm, or some kind of an inspection. Our quarters were squad tents. The assign ments of ten men to a tent made moving around difficult. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Doughboy Ballads "We've Done Our Hitch in Hell" I am sitting here a-thinking of the things I left behind, And I hate to put on paper what is running through my mind. We've dug a million trenches and chased ten miles of ground, And meaner place this side of hell I know is still unfound, But there's one great consolation, gather close while I tell, When we die well go to Heaven, for we've done our hitch in Hell. We've built a hundred kitchens for the cook to bake our beans, We've stood a hundred guard mounts and cleaned up the camp latrines; We've washed a million mess kits and peeled a million spuds, We've rolled a million blanket rolls and washed a million duds. The number of parades we've made would be very hard to tell, But we'll not parade in Heaven, for we've done our hitch in Hell. We've killed a million German snakes that tried to take our cots; We've shaken scores of centipedes from out our army socks; We've marched a hundred thousand miles and made a thousand camps, And pulled a million cactus thorns from out our army pants; But when our work on earth is done, our friends will surely tell, "When they die they go to Heaven, for they've done their hitch in Hell." The final taps are sounding and we lay aside life's cares, And we do our last parading up the shining golden stairs, And the angels bid us welcome and the harps begin to play, And we draw a million canteen checks and spend them in a day. 'Tis then we'll hear St. Peter tell us loudly with a yell: "Take a front seat. Engineer, for you've done your hitch in Hell." Just Thinking Standing up here on the fire step A-looking ahead in the mist, With a tin hat over your ivory And a rifle clenched in your fist; Waiting, watching, wondering, If the Huns are coming over tonight. Say! Aren't the things that you think of Enough to give you a fright? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book With the 112th in France written by James A. Murrin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With the 112th in France: A Doughboys Story of the War It is not a compilation of official documents, written with a view to meeting all the requirements of a stereo typed report. The effort has been directed toward tell ing in a human way those human incidents which made up part of the life of hiking, fighting and eating (as time and rolling kitchens permitted) during a strenuous four months' service on the battle-line in France. Perhaps the story of the 112th Infantry, 28th Divi sion, is no more remarkable in many respects than the record of many other infantry regiments at the front. No claim is made that it had better fighters, that it excelled in one specialty or in staying qualities; yet it did possess all those characteristics which go toward making up a real American regiment, fighting fit and ready to fight; that indomitable persistence to plunge ahead which played such a great part in driving the Hun line back to its homeland.

Download or read book The Doughboy s Poems of the World War While Over There written by David M. Funk and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doughboy's Poems of the World War While Over There: A Book Showing the Doughboy's Thoughts in Poems From Actual Experience in the Recent Conflict in Europe More than fifteen months as a doughboy, twelve of which has been spent over there, has led me to believe that there are many things in the army and its environment of which we might tell to the folks back home for interest, entertainment and knowledge. In bringing out these features of the doughboys' life I have tried to limit my poems on army subjects or within the close environments of this great war. The poems show the feeling of the doughboy and the home folks as they stand separated by that great gulf throughout this big game. The poems treat subjects in their reality as the doughboy witnessed them through out the game. They are a history within themselves. The author wishes to extend greetings to the ex-doughboys and the home folks who stood so faithful and loyal back of the government in the time of need. The Battlefield There's a field left in memory to the soldier lad, And its fears yet seen by man; Where once was all nature in its beauty it had, Made by Gods wonderful hand. But now as we glance she is in desolation, From the momentous war we have fought, And our heart is grieved as the youth of a nation, Must die on that fateful spot. There once grew the wheat and the golden corn, And the fruit trees in blossom so sweet, But all too soon came that fateful morn, Just as sadness creeps nigh to the cheek. The grain was all trampled by soldiers of men, The fruit to the gas had to yield, And such was a picture seen time and again, On this wonderful battlefield. There once worked the peasant in peaceful charm, For his bread and butter to earn, A paradise then was, that little farm, He had all that his heart could yearn. But now his plantation undone and torn, Is the fate of a dangerous foe; And his thoughts and family all in forlorn, As it's struck by that terrible blow. There once grazed the flock in grasses so green, And the river babbled so clear; And the birds, unmolested and seldom seen, As they warbled their songs so dear. But now the flocks are gone In despair, And the river has changed to red; From the sacrifice of youth so fair, With the blood he's compelled to shed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doughboy's Religion: And Other Aspects of Our Day There is a sort of fame that comes of much advertising and a name continually in the public prints - a sort of overpowering conspicuity that convinces without creden tials and gets itself accepted without proof. There is another sort of fame that travels so quietly it seems to go by underground and reaches a million people as if in silence, like one of those famous old books that are printed in all the languages of civilized man without advertisement and read with pri vate delight.

Download or read book The Last of the Doughboys written by Richard Rubin and published by HMH. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 549 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Before the Greatest Generation, there was the Forgotten Generation of World War I . . . wonderfully engaging” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). “Richard Rubin has done something that will never be possible for anyone to do again. His interviews with the last American World War I veterans—who have all since died—bring to vivid life a cataclysm that changed our world forever but that remains curiously forgotten here.” —Adam Hochschild, author of To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914–1918 In 2003, eighty-five years after the end of World War I, Richard Rubin set out to see if he could still find and talk to someone who had actually served in the American Expeditionary Forces during that colossal conflict. Ultimately he found dozens, aged 101 to 113, from Cape Cod to Carson City, who shared with him at the last possible moment their stories of America’s Great War. Nineteenth-century men and women living in the twenty-first century, they were self-reliant, humble, and stoic, never complaining, but still marveling at the immensity of the war they helped win, and the complexity of the world they helped create. Though America has largely forgotten their war, you will never forget them, or their stories. A decade in the making, The Last of the Doughboys is the most sweeping look at America’s First World War in a generation, a glorious reminder of the tremendously important role America played in the “war to end all wars,” as well as a moving meditation on character, grace, aging, and memory. “An outstanding and fascinating book. By tracking down the last surviving veterans of the First World War and interviewing them with sympathy and skill, Richard Rubin has produced a first-rate work of reporting.” —Ian Frazier, author of Travels in Siberia “I cannot remember a book about that huge and terrible war that I have enjoyed reading more in many years.” —Michael Korda, The Daily Beast

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great War caught a generation of American soldiers at a turning point in the nation's history. At the moment of the Republic's emergence as a key player on the world stage, these were the first Americans to endure mass machine warfare, and the first to come into close contact with foreign peoples and cultures in large numbers. What was it like, Richard S. Faulkner asks, to be one of these foot soldiers at the dawn of the American century? How did the doughboy experience the rigors of training and military life, interact with different cultures, and endure the shock and chaos of combat? The answer can be found in Pershing's Crusaders, the most comprehensive, and intimate, account ever given of the day-to-day lives and attitudes of the nearly 4.2 million American soldiers mobilized for service in World War I. Pershing’s Crusaders offers a clear, close-up picture of the doughboys in all of their vibrant diversity, shared purpose, and unmistakably American character. It encompasses an array of subjects from the food they ate, the clothes they wore, their view of the Allied and German soldiers and civilians they encountered, their sexual and spiritual lives, their reasons for serving, and how they lived and fought, to what they thought about their service along every step of the way. Faulkner's vast yet finely detailed portrait draws upon a wealth of sources—thousands of soldiers' letters and diaries, surveys and memoirs, and a host of period documents and reports generated by various staff agencies of the American Expeditionary Forces. Animated by the voices of soldiers and civilians in the midst of unprecedented events, these primary sources afford an immediacy rarely found in historical records. Pershing's Crusaders is, finally, a work that uniquely and vividly captures the reality of the American soldier in WWI for all time.
