Overview

Germans are using all kinds of old methods to beat our boys. The latest one was coming over as Red Cross men with stretchers and then opening up with machine guns and killing lots. They are up to all kinds of tricks. On one occasion they came over and stole our rations, then came back the next night twice as strong and left about forty dead. It's 1918 and World War I has created multiple conflicts. But for Sgt. Edgar Britton, a young father and transplanted Brit from Wisconsin, it is more than a battle against the enemy; it's a fight to stay alive. Join Britton as he vividly describes his journey as a mechanic on the Western Front from 1917-1919. Through fascinating detail, he offers insight into his daily life, shedding light on the tremendous struggles and loss this war produced. From dodging shellfire to rejoicing over a decent meal to portraying the beauty of the French countryside, Britton's story offers readers a rare opportunity to witness the horrors and gains of history's Great War. We go up to the line daily to make a few repairs and the sights you see make your blood run cold. I saw forty young boys of the 104th Infantry all laid side-by-side and ready for burial. They claim our Division has lost six thousand men in killed, wounded, and prisoners . . . about twenty percent.
