Dad and Dunk in the Great War - Paperback

by Jenifer Burckett-Picker (Author)

"Dad and Dunk in the Great War" tells the very personal story of two young World War I soldier-engineers who met in a training camp in Maryland, shipped over together to France, and then worked just behind the front lines in the Verdun area during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. It tells of a friendship forged amid the horrors of a war far from home. Through original diary excerpts, letters from the Front, and rare photographs, the author shares their story, and brings it full circle by connecting the reader with a return to Verdun 100 years later and with a reunion of the descendants of both men's families through four generations.
