Overview

This straightforward diary details the wartime experiences of a young man transported from a quiet, tiny town nestled in the cornfields of Indiana to the tumultuous, war-torn towns, forests, and fields of France, Belgium and Germany. His calm, objective recounting of his observations and experiences in Europe offers a unique perspective on the life of a WWI soldier. Herman Ralph Armstrong, along with several friends from Waldron, Indiana, sailed off to France to join The Great War in 1917. Employing the skills he learned in his father's Waldron leather and harness shop, he enlisted in the newly formed Rainbow Division as a Saddler, a unique position. He travelled along with the infantry wherever they went, providing desperately needed repairs to the officers' and soldiers' saddles, shoes, belts, bags, gas curtains, and more. Herman Armstrong's diary is an immersive experience into what was known as The War to End All Wars.
