The Shamrock Battalion in the Great War by Martin J Hogan
"When Martin Hogan began training on a vacant lot to be a soldier, he had no idea that he was about to become part of one of the most famed fighting units of World War I, the 165th Infantry in World War I, a regiment in the famed Rainbow Division. Company K of the Third or Shamrock Battalion had a part in every fight, and those who survived had more wound stripes than soldiers of any other company in the American Expeditionary Forces. Few soldiers saw as much of the war in eighteen months as did Hogan, and in this stirring account he tells of his experiences with graphic power, humility, and humor." - Editorial Reviews
