About this title

Synopsis

A century has passed since the Great War was fought. This is a never before published, first hand account, written and compiled by my great grandfather, Paul L. Compton. His narrative brings events to life from a perspective of one who was actually there. Beginning with training at camp Hancock, Georgia, he carries you through the voyage to Europe, the war, and then the return home to the welcoming parades. Not only does his writing bring the events of the war to life, but his personality adds some lightheartedness and humor to an otherwise difficult topic. It's an enjoyable read, making you feel as if you are by his side and participating, as he retells the events. The reader is left with a sense of being there, as well as making a friendship connection with Paul Compton himself. Included near the end of the book are his poetic reflections and ponderings about various memorials, monuments, and life. These further illustrate the man Paul Compton was. This was a very enjoyable project to work on and caused me to want to know more about WW1. This would make a great gift for anyone. Order copies today for yourself and friends & family.
