King Albert's Heroes
Reference :
TE14-94-TL
Full title : King Albert's Heroes - A Belgian Armored Corps in Russia and the USA
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This book describes the incredible story of the ACM, the Belgian army's first unit of armored cars. It covers the unit's formation in 1915 and its transfer to the Russian Front, where the Belgians fought against Austrian and German troops. It recounts the adventures of the ACM-men in the midst of the Russian Revolution and their odyssey, first along the Trans-Siberian railway through China to Vladivostok, then across the Pacific Ocean to the United States, where Kings Albert's Heroes are received with tremendous enthusiasm. The amazing story concludes with the unit's return to France and the subsequent fate of ACM-veterans.
King Albert's Heroes is a human interest story with a breathtaking historical background, a worldwide story about Belgians who went to war and made the best of it. One reads about the Thiry brothers who survived against all odds, about a world champion wrestling who attacked like a madman , about counts and barons whose noble blood wa spilled, about volunteers who became writer, communist or winner of Olympic gold. A true story told through young men's eyes and illustrated with color drawings hundred original and more than two hundred original photos.
