Produced by Michael McDermott, from scans obtained at the Internet Archive "Trench Ballads and Other Verses" by Erwin Clarkson Garrett is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. This anthology reflects the experiences of American soldiers during World War I, encapsulating the emotions and realities faced by those in the trenches. The poems are largely based on actual events and personal observations from the author's service, portraying the harshness of battle, camaraderie, and longing for home. The opening of the collection introduces readers to the poet's personal connection to the war, with an acknowledgment of his father's military service during the Civil War. Garrett divides the work into three parts: "Trench Ballads," which focuses on several soldier poems directly related to the experiences of the American Expeditionary Forces in France; “Pre-war Poems,” which capture sentiments preceding the U.S. entry into the war; and “Other Verses,” offering a broader range of topics beyond military life. The initial poems vividly depict the trenches, the relentless rain, the challenges of war, and the enduring spirit of the soldiers, setting a somber yet poignant tone for the collection.
