War memoirs from France reveal a modest newspaperman in WWI
An American expedi force veteran recalls front line life on the Vesle and Aisne during the Meuse-Argonne period. He describes back to back artillery barrages, briefings by a Spanish American War veteran, and his view of war as a jolly affair amid constant danger. He details transfer to the Vesle front, four days under fire, and later moves to the Argonne.
