This book was originally published in 1933. It is the first novel by William March, pen name for William Edward Campbell. Stemming directly from the author's experiences with the U.S. Marines in France during World War I, the book consists of 113 sketches, or chapters, tracing the fictional Company K's war exploits and providing an emotional history of the men of the company that extends beyond the boundaries of the war itself.
Here is Company K's account of more than one hundred days of combat, from the Siegfried Line through the Battle of the Bulge to meeting up with the Russians on the Elbe River.
The stories of Company K men also broaden our understanding of the complex experiences of Civil War soldiers.
