Written by Henri Barbusse.
One of the first novels about World War I. Published at the end of 1916, it was based on Barbusse's experiences as a French soldier on the Western Front. The novel, written primarily as the episodic journal entries of an unknown narrator, follows a French squad in the brutal face of the German Invasion. Compared to the many war stories before it, Under Fire is marked by a gritty realism that squares firmly with the death and squalor of trench warfare. Translated by Fitzwater Wray.

In German; 713 pages.

The Carroll County Veterans Memorial Park (CCVMP) is a non-profit organization located within Carroll County, Georgia created in 1999 by a group of Carroll County citizens. The purpose of CCVMP is to create a park that would honor military veterans of the United States of America who currently live, or have previously lived, within Carroll County and that were enlisted and honorably discharged within any American conflict beginning with the American Revolution.

This collection contains two scrapbooks produced by Woodfin Hall Carmical from 1910 to 1921. It does appear that Carmical later added his thoughts and comments to the scrapbooks, some as late as 1979. The scrapbooks contain materials from Carmical's time as a student and teacher at the Fourth District A and M School (currently University of West Georgia), and also from his time in the Army during World War I. The second scrapbook, "My Vacation Days," begins with Carmical's time served in World War I, and runs until late 1921. One interesting piece is a pamphlet entitled "The Soldiers Commandments" adopted by the 31st "Dixie" Division, which gives eleven interesting commands for how soldiers should conduct themselves.

This album was salvaged from a landfill by Richard Mehaffey in 1997, thereby making its true provenance unknown. It can be speculated, however, that it may have belonged to Joseph Messenger since he is depicted in some of the photographs. 1918.
