The World War I Memoirs of Don V. Paradis, Gunnery Sergeant, USMC
A foxhole view of the Marine Corps in the First World War. Don Paradis served as a sergeant in every action of the storied 4th Marine Brigade, earned two decorations for valor, and pinned on gunnery sergeant chevrons shortly after the armistice - less than twenty months after enlisting. Paradis is blunt, honest, and direct. His memories of combat are vivid and graphic.
