What a Few Shells Did And The War Stories From Belleau Wood
A WWI reminiscence narrates a bayonet driven escape and a dire medical transport under heavy shelling near Belleau Wood. The speaker recalls taking wounded to a dressing station, a premature shell blast, and a dangerous mopping up role with 185 prisoners at the outset. A later scene depicts German troops and a pistol bearing officer forcing mass surrender, then indirect machine gun fire and a stay in a captured dugout hospital. The piece ends with the writer’s return home and hope for peace.
