About this book
The Delta of the Triple Elevens by William Elmer Bachman plunges listeners into the gritty, personal history of Battery D, 311th Field Artillery with the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. Bachman blends frontline reportage, unit roster detail, and evocative photographs to recreate the rhythms of training at Camp Meade, service in France, and the quieter, human moments between shots.
Part military history, part war stories, and threaded with the art of artillery and camouflage, the narrative captures camaraderie, sacrifice, and the technical craft that kept a battery fighting— from gunnery and camouflage school to the paperwork and memories that followed the armistice. Period illustrations and a dedication to fallen comrades deepen the sense of authenticity, while Bachman’s soldierly voice provides both operational detail and humane reflection.
Ideal for listeners who love World War I history, unit-focused memoirs, or the technical and human sides of artillery, this audiobook offers a vivid primary-source portrait of American soldiers abroad. Tune in for a compelling slice of AEF history that honors those who served and preserves the lived experience of war.
