"The Peak of the Load" by Mildred Aldrich is a poignant firsthand account of life during World War I as experienced from the author's vantage point on a hilltop in France. The narrative captures the anticipation and anxiety of the waiting months during the war, detailing the shifts in morale and the impact of the ongoing conflict on both soldiers and civilians. Aldrich’s reflections provide a vivid depiction of the landscape, the struggles faced by those in and out of the trenches, and the human spirit’s resilience amidst uncertainty, culminating in the momentous Second Victory on the Marne.
