SUMMARY:Michigan Military Technical & Historical Society presents "An American Soldier in the Great War:  The World War I Diary & Letters of Elmer O Smith
DESCRIPTION:A presentation by Mark Rudd \nIn 1917\, U.S. military forces deployed to France and contributed significantly to the Allied defeat of Imperial Germany along the Western Front in 1918.  “The War to End All Wars”–World War I–was the largest\, most destructive war in human history up to that point. \nMore than a century later\, as the country looks back\, it is important to develop a deeper connection to the hearts and minds of the two million American soldiers sent overseas to fight in this major conflict.  Private First Class Elmer O. Smith of Michigan was one of those brave solders. \nThis book places Private Smith’s war diary and letters into historical context\, describing how a typical American soldier underwent rigorous training and then fought bravely with his unit against a determined German army foe in the brutal conditions and carnage of the Western Front.
