I have just created this page and plan to update it heavily in the coming weeks. This will explain it's abrupt stop in places, as my writing technique is to start from the beginning working my way to the end. - Diarmada04:36, 1 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
"The Doughboys"
Are you sure that's a novel? I think it was nonfiction, brought out around 1963 looking towards the 50th anniversary of WWI. Nor do I recall that discussion of black troops was a significant element of the book.
"The Doughboys" is stated as nonfiction, but I agree that the article's emphasis on black troops is misplaced. The book is an excellent survey of all US Army and Marine Corps actions in Europe 1917-18, thoroughly researched and very well written.
I've added an infobox, pictures, a works list, and reorganized the history into a clear lead, life, and career sections. I'm going to work on changing the references to inline citations, but it may be slow-going. Feel free to make updates, I will happily piggy-back on any updates.ÇaCestCharabia (talk) 20:36, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
