ulsterlad2 Posted 18 November , 2011 Share Posted 18 November , 2011 Picked this book up today while having a browse in a local book shop. For £3, I have to have that I thought. It is in 6 parts: 1 June, Belleau Wood. 2 July, Soissons. 3 August, Pont-à-Mousson 4 September, Saint-Mihiel 5 October, Blanc-Mont 6 November, Meuse-Argonne As with the title it is the memoirs of Elton E Mackin who joined the US Marines early in 1918. It looks like it could be an interesting read and I imagine it will read like a 'worms eye view' or events. Has anyone on the forum read this book?

trenchtrotter Posted 18 November , 2011 Share Posted 18 November , 2011 It a great read, you will enjoy it. It inspired me to learn more of the American involvement, gain a better understanding of the battles of Belleau Wood and Mont Blanc etc. Nice pencil sketches. Well worth it and you will want to visit the battlefield a little further south than the Somme TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
