Take Me to France: A French Phrasebook for the American Soldier

Hardback

Condition: New

Produced in 1917 for US servicemen going off to war in Europe, this is a pocket-sized vocabulary book, containing everything a soldier would need to know in the trenches. This book is reproduced in facsimile format, exactly as it was published almost 100 years ago. It also contains fantastic line drawings of different contemporaneous guns and equipment, each labelled with its French interpretation. From the sublime to the ridiculous, joyous to the poignant, this book is a snapshot of life on the front line for an army so very far from home.
