YEARS OF TRAVAIL

Four years of marching, four years of camp life, four years of sickness, fighting and death produced as many tales as there were men. Some are heroic, some are tragic, some will evoke laughter and others will bring tears. They are the stories of men who hallowed the ground of their battles with their blood, their sweat and the tears they shed for a fallen comrade. There are their stories, their history and their immortality.
