Excerpt from Letters and Diary of Alan Seeger
Hour of battle, for which he longs. Even when cramped in the trenches, this lover of beauty can take keen pleasure in an occasional glimpse of a picturesque vista through the c'réneaux; nor, when his endurance is taxed to the utmost to hold out until the end of a march that lays low many a stronger man among his comrades, does he fail to remember and record the sunlit verdure of the meadows bordering the dusty road along which he toils, with heavy burden, weary almost to the point of dropping. In the lonely vigils of sentry duty, during the hours between night and dawn, when the most cou rageous feel spirit and hope at the lowest ebb, he can find consolation in a kind of comrade ship with the stars.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a unique window into the realities of trench warfare during World War I through the personal diary and letters of a young American volunteer serving in the French Foreign Legion. Stationed in the trenches of Champagne and the Aisne Valley, the author vividly describes the daily hardships and dangers faced by soldiers: the relentless artillery fire, the squalor of the trenches, and the constant threat of death. Yet, amidst the bleakness, he also captures moments of beauty and camaraderie, finding solace in the natural world and forging deep bonds with his fellow soldiers. The author's introspective reflections offer profound insights into the psychological impact of war, exploring themes of courage, resilience, and the search for meaning in the face of unimaginable suffering. He grapples with the tension between the brutality of combat and his own love of life, ultimately embracing his role in the larger struggle for freedom. This deeply personal account provides a powerful testament to the human spirit in wartime, reminding us of the enduring capacity for hope and humanity even in the darkest of circumstances.
