William F. Clarke is the author of Over There With O’Ryan’s Roughnecks (Superior Publishing, Seattle, 1968). It is one of the best and most accurate first person accounts of an individual's service in the Great War. His memory is amazingly detailed 50 years after the events he describes. This book has been out of print for many years but I have seen numerous copies showing up for sale on the internet. It is well worth the effort to obtain a copy. It's good reading AND great history
