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.

Download or read book Doughboys on the Western Front written by Aaron Barlow and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2016-11-07 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the daily lives of American soldiers from their training through their arrival in France and participation in the final battles of the war, this book offers a breadth of perspectives on the experiences of doughboys in the First World War via primary documents of the time. Due to the mechanical typewriter and the Linotype machine, printed materials during the World War I era were produced quickly and widely distributed. In a time without media other than those on paper, printed materials like newspapers, magazines, books, letters, and army orders were critical for communication. This book examines the range of documents written during World War I or within a few years of the end of the conflict to reveal the experiences of the doughboys who participated in "the war to end all wars." Through documents such as military communications, newspaper accounts, personal letters, divisional histories written soon after the end of hostilities, and other sources, readers get detailed glimpses into the doughboy experience during World War I. The book covers subject matter throughout their time as soldiers, including training in the United States and in France, early participation in conflicts, daily life in the American Expeditionary Force, the major battles for American troops, and what returning home was like for those lucky ones. The assembled narrative of the war experience from many different voices and individuals creates a resource that enables a better understanding the attitudes and perspectives from 1918 through the very early 1920s. Readers will also gain an appreciation of the many changes in American culture that were to follow immediately after the war's conclusion and contribute to the decade of the Roaring Twenties.
Download or read book American Poetry and the First World War written by Tim Dayton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Poetry and the First World War connects American poetry to the political and economic forces behind American participation in World War I. Dayton investigates the ways that poetry was used to imagine the war and studies a wide range of poetry: open and closed form, formal and colloquial, well-known and unknown. In a chapter on Edith Wharton, Dayton demonstrates that many of the features of poetry also found expression in prose about the war. Seeing the war as the opening bid in American ascent to global hegemony, Dayton unlocks some of the ways that literature provided a means by which to accept - and occasionally contest - the price to be paid for power. American Poetry and the First World War draws on a wide range of reading in the primary texts of the period, archival research, historical materialist theory, and work in political and economic history and international relations.

Download or read book Doughboy Doggerel written by Alfred E. Cornebise and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of what we know of World War I we owe to accounts which treated that conflict with great perspective, the great human perspective of novelists and poets, the great political and strategic perspective of statesmen and military leaders. Most of those who fought the war did so without benefit of such perspective. The doughboy's war was a day-to-day exercise of marches, trenches, mud, "cooties," and frightening machines of destruction. Doughboy Doggerel reveals the men who fought the war as they were -- full of regional pride, eager for action, cocky, fun-loving, courageous, and patriotic, but also homesick, lonely, and exhausted. The typical doughboy was not a poet-soldier, like Sassoon or Owen. He was less likely to have read Homer than McGuffey. But if he did not produce poems of vision and artistry, he did record the humor, fears, and most closely-held affections and ideals of American youth as it was thrust into the First World War. Collected from the pages of The Stars and Stripes and The Amaroc News and organized by subject matter, this verse reflects the innocence, spirit, and color of the common man, enduring daily hardships, reflecting on the death of comrades, and longing for the humble comforts of home and family. Cornebise provides a preface to each section and a general introduction indicating the cultural and historical context of this verse and its importance for students of history and popular culture.
