{"product_id":"a-yankee-in-the-trenches","title":"A Yankee in the Trenches","description":"viii, [4], 214, [2] pp. 8vo. Includes jacket with wrap-around illustration graphically depicting troops attempting to disable a tank. \"The actual life of a soldier on the Western front in billets, in the trenches, over the top, across no-man's land and in hand-to-hand conflicts with the Germans is here vividly related by a gallant young American who fought in the English army, until, twice wounded, he was invalided home. Corporal Holmes fought in the battles of the Somme where he witnessed the first of the tanks in action. He participated in thrilling charges, and he only ceased 'strafing the Hun' when wounded and sent back to 'Blighty.' He tells his many and varied experiences in trench and billets in a straightforward manner - experiences just like those our United States troops are undergoing in France. This is not a book that depicts mainly the horrors of war, for the lighter side is adequately presented by this soldier boy. It is a narrative to stir the heart and kindle the imagination of the reader.\"","brand":"Little, Brown, and Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":20536797954118,"sku":"2276963","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1232\/9510\/products\/2276963.jpg?v=1571426221","url":"https:\/\/ym-demo.myshopify.com\/products\/a-yankee-in-the-trenches","provider":"Yesterday's Muse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
