Synopsis
Frontline memories, humor, and hard-won wisdom from a soldier in World War I
A Yankee in the Trenches offers a vivid, firsthand look at life in the Great War. Part memoir, part practical guide, it balances tough experiences with sharp, relatable humor and moments of humanity that endure beyond the battlefields.

It also includes practical sections that echo the realities of service, family life, and the emotional toll of that era.
