Our Boys Over There is a book written by Frederic Coleman in 1918, specifically addressed to young American soldiers who were about to be deployed to France during World War I. The book is meant to provide a comprehensive guide to what the soldiers should expect when they arrive in France, including the cultural differences, the language barriers, and the various challenges they may face while serving overseas.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of life in France during the war. The first chapter, for example, provides an overview of the country's geography, history, and culture, while the second chapter focuses on the language and how soldiers can learn to communicate with the locals. Other chapters cover topics such as the food, the weather, the military operations, and the social customs of the French people.Throughout the book, Coleman emphasizes the importance of respecting the French people and their way of life, and he encourages the soldiers to learn as much as they can about the country and its people. He also provides practical advice on how to stay healthy and safe while serving overseas, including tips on avoiding illness, staying warm in the winter, and dealing with the dangers of trench warfare.Overall, Our Boys Over There is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning about the experiences of American soldiers during World War I, and it provides a unique perspective on the challenges faced by soldiers serving in a foreign country during a time of war.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
