Barron is a collection of accounts detailing acts of valor during the First World War, likely written in the early 20th century. This anthology showcases various individual stories of courage, including events fought in the trenches, the air, and even naval engagements, celebrating the human spirit in the face of adversity. The book aims to honor both well-known and lesser-known heroes who exhibited extraordinary bravery. At the start of the anthology, the introduction by Rupert Hughes sets a philosophical tone regarding bravery, highlighting its intrinsic connection to human experience and national identity. Hughes emphasizes the unfairness of fame in wartime, as many brave souls remain unnamed while a select few are celebrated. Various accounts follow, focusing on the boldness of American Marines at Belleau Wood and other battles, along with narratives of exceptional courage displayed by service members from varying backgrounds. The heroes featured are depicted as embodiments of honor, with particular pieces concentrating on both men and women who stood valiantly during critical moments in the war.
