WW1 Soldier's Terrifying Account of Going Over The Top

Step into the trenches of the First World War. In this video, we hear excerpts from Over the Top (1917) by Arthur Guy Empey, an American soldier who enlisted with the British Army. His first-hand account captures the fear, chaos, and courage of soldiers as they prepared to “go over the top” during a trench attack on the Western Front in 1916. From the nerve-racking wait, to the thunder of artillery, to the brutal crossing of No Man’s Land — this vivid account puts you directly in the boots of a soldier on the front line. 📖 Source: Over the Top (public domain, Project Gutenberg) 🎥 Edited and narrated for historical and educational purposes.
