"I was there" with the Yanks on the western front, 1917-1919 by Baldridge et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a first-hand perspective of the experiences of American soldiers, known as "doughboys," during World War I, particularly focusing on their service on the Western Front. Through a combination of sketches and poetry, the narrative captures the realities and hardships of war from a soldier's viewpoint. The book consists of sketches and narratives by C. LeRoy Baldridge, who served as a camion driver and infantry private in France. Baldridge shares vivid illustrations and personal reflections about daily life in the trenches, the camaraderie among troops, and the interactions with the French population. Significant themes include the challenges of military life, the camaraderie among soldiers, the brutality of war, and the emotional toll it takes on those involved. Through a blend of humor and poignancy, Baldridge's work serves as a tribute to the soldiers' resilience and the shared human experience amid the chaos of war.
