John Boyden, a novel about two Indian canadian snipers in ww1 , I highy reccomend it to anyone interested in ww1 or ww2, being part Blackfoot myself, i have a sympathy for Indian causes, especially soldiers who are also Indians, as I was. the Indians in the book are Cree, there are sections I would call x-rated, i bought the book at Wal-Marts bargain book table. eventually they get around to the Somme. a batttle i had relatives on both sides in. oops how did that preposition get there? ok read it iffn ya like good war stories. and washtey, stihilijote washtay, wemisticashiw
