These very short stories (many of them true) explore experiences, ironies, tragedies and triumphs of this Great and Forgotten War.
Though the author(s) may have taken some liberties for dramatic purposes in these very short stories, every effort has been made to assure accuracy and consistency with the depicted historic events of World War I.
