Achtung, Ron,
I have a story of the western front WW-1,
as told to me by my father, A machine gun Mechanic with the AEF, somewhere in France.
I cannot relate the actual battle, but the story is of the conflict of two soldiers, with near identical first names, 1 American and 1 German sniper, and the pure guts required to survive in combat.
It is quite lengthy but, I think that it would go well here because of the topic matter.
It may be a slight bit controversial because the names of both soldiers are revealed and are not fictional.
Would you like to have a look at it, off thread, to see if it should be used here.
I know that Ed. will want to have a copy.
"The best WWI soldier portrait" bothers me because it was a man such as this that my Father met in battle.
