A Volunteer Poilu is a memoir written by Henry Sheahan and published in 1916. The book recounts Sheahan’s experiences as a volunteer soldier in the French army during World War I. The term ''poilu'' refers to the French infantrymen who fought in the trenches during the war. Sheahan, an American, joined the French army in 1914 and fought in several major battles, including the Battle of the Marne and the Battle of Verdun. The book provides a vivid and personal account of the horrors of trench warfare, including the constant danger of artillery fire, gas attacks, and hand-to-hand combat. Sheahan also describes the camaraderie among the soldiers and the daily struggles of life in the trenches, such as the lack of food, water, and sleep. A Volunteer Poilu is a poignant and insightful memoir that offers a unique perspective on one of the deadliest conflicts in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
