The G. I. Journal of Sergeant Giles - Janice Holt Giles

Descriere The G. I. Journal of Sergeant Giles - Janice Holt Giles

\n \naorn and raised in Adair County, Kentucky, Henry Giles entered the U.S. Army in 1940. As weapons sergeant with the 291st Combat Engineer Battalion, Sgt. Giles participated in the Normandy invasion, the Battle of the Bulge, and the crossing of the Rhine River at Remagen. Throughout his time in the European Theater he wrote over six hundred letters home to his soon-to-be wife, Janice Holt. He also religiously kept a journal detailing daily activities and the camaraderie of his unit. Twenty years later, Janice Holt Giles edited this journal, compiled interviews and additional research, and produced The G. I. Journal of Sergeant Giles, a book that shows WWII as it was experienced by the regular men who took the brunt of it, the noncommisioned officers and privates. \n
