| Summary | "Army Boys in the French Trenches; Or, Hand to Hand Fighting with the Enemy" by Homer Randall is a fictional military adventure novel written in the late 1910s, shortly after World War I. The narrative follows a group of American soldiers, specifically four friends named Frank Sheldon, Bart Raymond, Tom Bradford, and Billy Waldon, as they engage in intense combat against German forces in the trenches of France. The story focuses on their physical and emotional trials as they navigate the brutal realities of war while fostering camaraderie and bravery among themselves. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to the tension-filled atmosphere of an impending attack as the army boys prepare to go "over the top" into battle. They share banter and jokes while waiting in the trench, revealing their personalities and camaraderie. The initial attack involves the detonation of a mine that gives them the advantage, leading to a fierce hand-to-hand combat scenario where they demonstrate their skills and resilience. The opening sets the stage for not only the challenges of warfare, including close combat and strategic maneuvers, but also the bonds of friendship and loyalty among the soldiers as they fight for their country, hinting at deeper character development and personal stories to unfold throughout the book.
