MaryAnn,
I'd like to read:
“I Am Not Dead” from Experiences of the Great War by Ashby Williams (1874-1944)
https://archive.org/details/experiencesgrea00willgoog/page/n8
pp. 131-133
Ashby Williams was a 44 year old lawyer from Virginia who led the U.S. Army’s First Battalion, 320th Infantry Division in the Muse-Argonne Campaign of the First World War. It was during this battle, the deadliest in U.S. History, that Major Williams “had perhaps the narrowest escape of [his] life.”

Sorry to be out of touch for a bit. Catching up:
It's exciting to see these new pieces as we come closer to Armistice Day. Now, to get caught up on PLing.
MaryAnn
That would be great Winston. You are at the bottom of the MW for now, until I figure out where to slot you as I rearrange sections.
Thank you Maria.commonsparrow3 wrote: ↑October 10th, 2018, 2:21 pm Here's my section:

MaryAnn, I'm not offering to read any section right now, and it's a bit late for this year anyway, but I found this book which you might want to put on your list for next year's collection: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/47856
short autobiographical descriptions of incidents in the war, related by the soldiers themselves.

The title means "Problems of Peace Economy". Address to the "Deutsche Gesellschaft 1914", held on 18 Dec. 1916. Walther Rathenau, jewish, b. 1867, was a german industrialist, author and liberal politician. After WWI, he became foreign minister of the Weimar Republic and negotiated the Treaty of Rapallo with Soviet Russia. He was assassinated in Berlin in 1922 by an anti-Semitic terrorist organization, the "Organisation Consul". In the middle of an ongoing war, he assesses and addresses Germany's economic situation and challenges for a peace economy, supporting - amongst others - progressive ideas for a redistribution of wealth.

Thanks, Mary Ann. I found this piece quite moving, and hoped others would also find it an appropriate reflection for the end of the war. This whole 3-volume project has been a great educational experience which I've been glad to be involved in. Thank you for putting it together!MaryAnnSpiegel wrote: ↑October 29th, 2018, 6:43 pm Shall we end war? is PL OK.
