Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Yankee in the Trenches is a classic world war one diary by R. Derby Holmes. I have tried as an American in writing this book to give the public a complete view of the trenches and life on the Western Front as it appeared to me, and also my impression of conditions and men as I found them. It has been a pleasure to write it, and now that I have finished I am genuinely sorry that I cannot go further. On the lecture tour I find that people ask me questions, and I have tried in this book to give in detail many things about the quieter side of war that to an audience would seem too tame. I feel that the public want to know how the soldiers live when not in the trenches, for all the time out there is not spent in killing and carnage. As in the case of all men in the trenches, I heard things and stories that especially impressed me, so I have written them as hearsay, not taking to myself credit as their originator.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R. Derby Holmes was an American serving as a corporal of the 22nd London Battalion of the queen's Royal West Surrey Regiment. As he writes in his foreword "I have tried as an American in writing this book to give the public a complete view of the trenches and life on the Western Front as it appeared to me, and also my impression of conditions and men as I found them. It has been a pleasure to write it, and now that I have finished I am genuinely sorry that I cannot go further.

As in the case of all men in the trenches, I heard things and stories that especially impressed me, so I have written them as hearsay, not taking to myself credit as their originator. I trust that the reader will find as much joy in the cockney character as I did and which I have tried to show the public; let me say now that no finer body of men than those Bermondsey boys of my battalion could be found.

Book excerpt: Just in time for Veterans' Day: I found this book to be informative, anti-sentimental, definitely NOT propagandistic as so many of the personal narratives about the First World War were. Holmes wrote this book in reaction to America joining the fight against Germany; he had survived two years in the trenches as a soldier in the British Army, fighting in the Somme. Receiving a "million-dollar wound", as referred to in the war to follow the First World War (The War to End All Wars), he is discharged from the King's Service in 1917. What I find fascinating is the practical advice given to the parents of the young people who were about to go "over there" from America to fight in the war: what to send the soldiers, how to send it, how often, what did soldiers like to eat, what cigarrettes to send, etc. The reader comes to learn the existential detail, the minutiae that agglomerated into the daily life of a man in the trenches. This book has the elegance of a survivor's, first-person narrative even if written in colorful, cockney language. I loved it. You can read it for free on Google Books. On the 11th minute, of the 11th hour, of the 11th month of 1918, The First World War formally ended. This is a good read to commemorate this seminal event in world history. Remember our Veterans today! (Chaz)
