HARD COVER

1917, A Journal. The World War I Diary of Amy Corbin is the remarkable firsthand account of Amy Corbin, an American Red Cross volunteer who served in France during World War I. Written in a small leather-bound diary as events unfolded, her journal offers an intimate glimpse into daily life behind the front lines—crossing the Atlantic aboard the Rochambeau, caring for soldiers, learning French, meeting notable figures of the day, and witnessing history through the eyes of a thoughtful young woman far from home.

In 1917, Amy Corbin left New York to serve with the American Red Cross in France, faithfully recording her experiences in a small leather-bound diary. More than a century later, her great-niece has carefully transcribed and annotated the journal, adding historical notes, photographs, and maps that bring Amy's remarkable journey—and a pivotal moment in history—to life for today's readers.
