Topic 29 Honoring Deceased Authors Who Served in the Military




Greetings,
My last blog mentioned I'd be exploring books I've read and point out what I considered unnecessary fluff or filler and see if you agreed with me. But, since Memorial Day, a Federal holiday in the U.S., is fast approaching, I felt it's only fitting that we honor deceased writers who served in the military. I'm sure you'll recognize many of the authors listed and their works. If you've never had a chance to read any works by these authors, it's not too late to check them out. Great reference material too if you need to write about a specific era.

Henri Barbusse's (served as a stretcher-bearer on the front lines) --Under Fire (1916)

A.P. Herbert--The Secret Battle (1919)

Ralph Hale Mottram--Death of a Hero (1929)

Victor Maslin Yeates--Winged Victory (1934)

Ford Maddox--a tetralogy of novels Parade's End (1924-1927)
