Reading A Yankee in the Trenches | Alexandria
Read A Yankee in the Trenches by Robert Derby Holmes. Dodging bullets while cracking jokes, an American soldier's irreverent WWI diary shatters the myth of warfare's nobility. Holmes' raw account reveals how humor and humanity persist in hell, showing that war's true story isn't about glory but about finding light in darkness. His counterintuitive take: trenches fostered more laughter than tears.
