Summary "Anecdotes of the Great War, Gathered from European Sources" by Carleton B. Case is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on the lighter and more humorous aspects of World War I through a collection of anecdotes, showcasing the resilience and humor of soldiers amidst the horrors of war. Compiled from various European sources, it offers a refreshing perspective on military life, capturing moments that balance the grim reality with laughter and camaraderie. The opening of the book presents a foreword that sets the tone for the collection, explaining the necessity of humor during the grim experiences of war. It highlights the human tendency to seek relief in joy, even in dark times, and indicates the selection's careful curation to avoid offensive content. Following the foreword is a series of amusing anecdotes and quips that illustrate the experiences of soldiers, recruiting humor, and the camaraderie built during the war, offering readers glimpses of the levity that coexisted with hardship on the front lines.
