"5 Stars on Goodreads! ""A fascinating look into an average foot soldier's life thru 4 years of WWI Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2019: 'Frenchman's Duty' follows one foot soldier's day-to-day life across 4 years of WWI as chronicled in his diary. Not only does the book transcribe and translate entries from the soldier's diary, the author adds helpful illustrations, maps, photographs, and historical context to expand upon the soldier's own personal writings and to create a insightful story of an ordinary man's experience. It is a very real tale of survival, patriotism, personal bonds, and dedication during the relentless, senseless, and seemingly endless troop movements, rotating assignments, and destruction that was WWI trench warfare."""
