The Trench Soldier — Barry Sadler

Casca Longinus. Curst by Christ on Golgotha. Condemned to outlive the ages and wander the globe a constant soldier. Forever fighting, surviving, waiting for Him to return.

World War I. It was mankind's first taste of modern warfare. And before it ended, most of Europe would turn into a corpse littered battleground. Thousands would die in the hail of machine-gun fire, by the burning agony of mustard gas, and on the bloodsoaked steel of a bayonet. There was no honor or glory for the soldiers who fought in the rat-infested trenches...

And for Casca, there was only the horror of a new kind of war--and a bitter envy for the dead.
