Strenuous Life of Foreign Legion Soldier Tales
Chicago writer Phil Rader recalls the French American Foreign Legion with Americans from across the United States and from all walks of life. He highlights Eugene Jacob a Belgian born butcher’s son and German hater who fought bravely, Bartlett Donnell killed by a shell after a girl urged him to seek achievement, John Street an evangelist killed after a truce moment, and George Allard a Galveston Negro cook and singer killed when a trench was blown apart. Rader notes he was cited for destroying a straw stack that hid four German machine guns and describes weeks in waterlogged trenches with beet leaf camouflaged sacks.
