About the Book Content: The book is a collection of World War I soldiers' songs, primarily written or improvised by the soldiers themselves, that provide a raw and often explicit look into the humor and daily life in the trenches. It includes lyrics, musical notation, and illustrations by A.A. "Wally" Wallgren. Compilation: The songs were collected and transcribed during and after the war by Lieutenant John Jacob Niles. He edited the collection along with Douglas Moore. Themes: The songs cover a range of themes including illicit affairs, daily life of a soldier, conflict between military ranks, racism, anti-German rhetoric, and death, often in a way that challenged the romanticized portrayal of war found in official Army song books. Publisher: It was published by The Macaulay Company in New York. A wonderful compendium of comic, bawdy and ironic songs sung by soldiers in World War I. With a section of songs sung by the Black soldiers, who were not integrated yet. With interesting notes on the background of the songs, and many cartoons by Wally Wallgren, the official cartoonist of "The Stars and Stripes". Abian A. Wally Wallgren (illustrator). Signed by Illustrator(s).
