WWI Private Compton NEVER BEFORE PUBLISHED 1st Hand Account 28th Infantry

Description: Private Compton: My Experiences in the World War Or A Brief History of the Third Battalion 111th Infantry - 28th Division A. E. F. 388 pages, 8.5" x 11" 2.5 lbs This book is in the process of being endorsed by the US WW1 Centennial Commission. A century has passed since the Great War was fought. This is a never before published, first hand account, written and compiled by my great grandfather, Paul L. Compton. His narrative brings events to life from a perspective of one who was actually there. Beginning with training at camp Hancock, Georgia, he carries you through the voyage to Europe, the war, and then the return home to the welcoming parades. Not only does his writing bring the events of the war to life, but his personality adds some lightheartedness and humor to an otherwise difficult topic. It's an enjoyable read, making you feel as if you are by his side and participating, as he retells the events. The reader is left with a sense of being there, as well as making a friendship connection with Paul Compton himself. Included near the end of the book are his poetic reflections and ponderings about various memorials, monuments, and life. These further illustrate the man Paul Compton was. This was a very enjoyable project to work on and caused me to want to know more about WW1. The National Archives gave me access to the AEF catalog of photos where I searched hours for pictures depicting things he talked about. Price for ONE book, includes shipping.
