No one to be seen now and my head facing I knew not where. A great,
livid waste, the light of day going, and the way might be to the
north or to the south. I had lost my bearings. Not far away a tank,
half embedded, was getting it full tilt. The sweat stood on my
dirty face. And then in that great expanse of mud and wire I
spotted a little red cross on a little flag...."
So writes Private Alfred Willcox, of the Royal Sussex Regiment,
about a July night in 1917 during the Third Battle of Ypres. His is
just one of the many gripping, moving accounts in "True World War I
Stories" -- accounts that recall all aspects of the greatest
conflict the world had ever seen: the first gas and tank attacks;
life in the trenches and under bombardment; going over the top and
charging the enemy; fighting at Loos, Mons, and the Somme; aerial
dogfights and the birth of the air force; and life as a prisoner of
war.
Fear and courage, dirt, pain, and death -- it's all here in
"True World War I Stories."
