Since 1991 I have been leading First World War battlefield tours to the Western Front, Gallipoli and Italy, and this will be my last year doing so. By far, the greatest interest for my groups has been in the American battlefields. Also, over the years I have received hundreds of inquiries through the Internet as to how to visit the site where a family member, a Doughboy, airman, marine, or sailor served and how to gain information on what happened where they fought. What I decided to do for the subscribers of my publications

ReplyDeleteI bought a copy a couple of years ago to help shape my tours and it is an excellent resource. I highly recommend it for those of you who may visit the AEF battlefields.
ReplyDeleteIs it still available in book form?
ReplyDeleteNo Gary, it's only delivered electronically, but it can be easily printed out.
DeleteI’d like to purchase. My father. 325th infantry was between St.Juvin and sommerance. Is it covered. Whereccan I purchase?
ReplyDeleteHi, I've written a general guide so it does not have details on regimental operations like those of the 325th Inf. However, there is an excellent first hand account of that fight in a family memoir titled, ON THE HILLS OF ROME by John Calvin, pgs 76-77. You can read it online by searching for the title on Google Books and then scrolling to the pages.
DeleteIf you still want to buy my guide, look in the blue books in the article above for instructions.

Having much trouble finding on the hills of Rome by john Calvin.
ReplyDeleteSorry the version I was looking at was really hard to read and I got the title wrong. It's actually "On the Hills of Home" (not Rome). Good news, there is a much easier to read version at the Internet Archive, here:

I'll be sending a check, even if we may have have to fight our way in against a European ban on us infectious Americans.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe we were banned in 1917 -- or 1944.
