About this ebook

Slum and Guns,
Tales of Marines in the Great War.
Consisting of several short stories, Slum and Guns describes the life and times of Marines during the Great War, from their training in the United States to the killing fields of France. Most were brave as they advanced into intense artillery and machine-gun fire, suffering heavy casualties. At other times they offered aid to their buddies, French civilians, children, and even a dog. Food was obtained where ever it could be found.

Author

Wayne A. Pettyjohn

Wayne Pettyjohn's interest in writing and military history began as a cadet at Carson Long Military Institute in Pennsylvania. Following graduation and a hitch in the Marine Corps, he received the BA and MA degrees at the University of South Dakota and a PhD at Boston University, all in geology. While with the U.S. Geological Survey in North Dakota, he read law and was admitted to the North Dakota Bar in 1968. Thirteen years were spent as a Professor of Geology at The Ohio State University. This was followed by 15 years as Head of the School of Geology at Oklahoma State University. He retired in 1995. Wayne and his wife Phyllis, also a geologist, are avid collectors of militaria. Their home is a private military museum.
