English-French Hand Book for the use of United States Soldiers
and is a helpful guide for soldiers in the trenches on leave in France.  So after a long night out drinking absinthe in Paris you may need to ask
De quel cote se trouve la caserne?
(Which is the way to the barracks?).  And if you are in really bad shape you may say
J’ai gangrene
(I have gangrene).  On the last page are the words and translation to
La Marseillaise,
which is a song that I’m sure came in handy  on the eleventh of November, 1918.
