A unique document of African American soldiers fighting with the French in WWI, filled with anecdotes of the triumph and trials of these troops, from winning the croix de guerre, to being subject to prejudice from other Americans, to returning home and marching up 5th Avenue to Harlem. Some may find the language and tone colored by the prejudice of the time, but the actions speak louder than the words in this story, for both white and black men and their families.
