Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From the Trenches: Incidents of the Allies' Campaign, With Some War-Time Impressions of France and the French There is something thrilling, something also impressively sad, in being within sound of the guns. I heard the artillery in action for the first time one afternoon as, on a vacated battle ground a few miles from the Opposing armies at Soissons, I wandered amongst the graves of the fallen. From a point to the north-west, where a line of blue hills fringed the rolling plain, the full-throated voices of the big field pieces reached us through the still air. It was a grey day in January. The sky was cloud-laden. The landscape looked mournful and deserted. All the circumstances conspired to impress on us the sad realities of war.

Download or read book The United States Marine Corps in the World War Classic Reprint written by Edwin N. McClellan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States Marine Corps in the World War This regiment was soon joined by the Sixth Regiment and the Sixth Machine Gun Battalion Of Marines, and the Fourth Brigade Of Marines was organized, and as one of the two Infantry brigades Of the Second Division of Regulars engaged in actual battle in no less than eight distinct operations in France, of which four were major opera tions. The French Army recognized the splendid work of the Fifth and Sixth Regiments of Marines by citing them no less than three times in Army orders for achievements in the chateau-thierry sector, in the aisne-marne (soissons) Offensive, and in the meuse-argonne (champagne). The Sixth Machine Gun Battalion was similarly cited for its work in the chateau-thierry sector and Aisne - Marne (soissons) offensive. The Fourth Brigade received a similar cita tion for its work in the Chateau - Thierry sector. Since two French Army citations are sufficient to make an organization eligible for the award of the French fourragere, the high standard Of the Marine units is evident. Information was received in January, 1920, that the War Department had accepted the award of the French fourragere in the colors of the ribbon of the Croix de Guerre for several Army organi zations and the three units of the Fourth Brigade. Within one year after the outbreak of war the Marine Corps placed about as many enlisted men in France as there were in the Marine Cor s when war was declared. During t e month of June, 1918, when the battle deaths around Hill 142, Bouresches, Belleau Wood, and Vaux, of Americans attached to the Second Division amounted to (of which at least were Marines) and the nonfatal casualties to more (of which were Marines), the legislative strength of the Marine Corps was but Officers and enlisted men; the actual strength on June 30, 1918, including reserves, was officers and enlisted men, and of this total about 300 Officers and enlisted men were in France. These latter figures include those Marines who suffered casualties in the battles of June, 1918. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Official History of the Second Regiment of Engineers and Second Engineer Train, United States Army, in the World War Not only did' the 2nd Engineers show unusual ability as engineers, but it was several times used in emergency as infantry and always acquitted itself with credit. At Chateau Thierry, every company fought as infantry; at Soissons, every company was on the front line, and fought as infantry; at Saint Mihiel half of the companies accompanied the tanks. Or went over the top with the front line as wire cutters; at Blane Mont, every company was thrown into the front line to hold and to advance; at Attigny, two platoons went ahead of the front line as wire cutters; and in the Argonne, half of the companies were with the infantry under direct fire for a greater or less time as was necessary. This regiment experienced severe losses, as was to be expected. Proportionally, its loss was greater than that of any other engineer or artillery regiment, greater than that of more than half of the infantry regiments in the thirty combat divisions, and about two-fifths of that of the most severely handled infantry regiment. Actually, its loss in men was greater than the loss of three of the thirty combat divisions. Its total replacements for all purposes amounted to 191% before it reached the Rhine.

Download or read book The Literary Digest History of the World War written by Francis W. Halsey and published by Cosimo, Inc.. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quantity of journalism produced during World War I was unlike anything the then-budding mass media had ever seen. Correspondents at the front were dispatching voluminous reports on a daily basis, and though much of it was subject to censorship, it all eventually became available. It remains the most extraordinary firsthand look at the war that we have. Published immediately after the cessation of hostilities and compiled from those original journalistic sources-American, British, French, German, and others-this is an astonishing contemporary perspective on the Great War. This replica of the first 1919 edition includes all the original maps, photos, and illustrations, lending an even greater immediacy to readers a century later. Volume V covers March 1918 through September 1918 on the Western Front, from the American "invasion" of France to the first German bid for peace. American journalist and historian FRANCIS WHITING HALSEY (1851-1919) was literary editor of The New York Times from 1892 through 1896. He wrote and lectured extensively on history; his works include, as editor, the two-volume Great Epochs in American History Described by Famous Writers, From Columbus to Roosevelt (1912), and, as writer, the 10-volume Seeing Europe with Famous Authors (1914).
