In April 1917 a sophomore at Indiana University, inspired by his grandfather's service in the Union army during the Civil War, left school and enlisted with a National Guard unit in Indianapolis that became the 150th Field Artillery Regiment. Before long the young man, Elmer W. Sherwood, found himself fighting in France. Sherwood kept a diary of his time overseas, including his experiences in the army of occupation following the war's end. A Soldier in World War I: The Diary of Elmer W. Sherwood captures the words of the Hoosier as he wrote them on the front lines. The book also includes a shipboard diary Sherwood sent home from France shortly after his arrival, which appeared in his hometown newspaper.

I love this book. Elmer Sherwood, "Daddy Doc," is my great Uncle. I read it the first time when I was in junior High and I hit WW I in my American History stream. (I would hit it again in Highschool and in College.) I don't have the edition listed above because I have a first edition signed by my Uncle. That is the one I re-read and completed last night. I am involved in a book discussion of President Wilson on the History group. When we got to Wilson and the War, I thought it a good time to read this book again. I am glad I did. This memoir is easy to read, simple and straightforward, filled with the compassion and humor I recall in all the members of my father's side of the family. It's easy to get bogged down in the large story of American History. It becomes real when it is brought down to earth by those who actually experienced the effects of the plans and decisions made by those in power.
