Very desirable. The authors served as YMCA volunteers in France from 1917 to 1919, assigned specifically to Black Regiments. The work stands out among black memoir of the era with its clear focus on both structural and informal injustices against Black soldiers during the war.

In her article on Hunton in Notable American Women, Jean Blackwell Hutson notes that "...an undercurrent of bitterness and indignation [over the indignities suffered by Negro troops] . . . pervades Two Colored Women with the American Expeditionary Forces. . . 

Hunton (d. 1943) went on to be quite active in the field of Civil Rights; among many other organizational affiliations, she served as vice-president and field secretary of the NAACP and as a national organizer for the National Association of Colored Women. Kathryn M. Johnson (d.1953) became a pioneering African-American woman bookseller, selling books - and spreading literacy - door-to-door as a sales agent for Associated Publishers and other Black-owned presses.

The only two other copies on the market at the time of cataloguing each more than double our asking price.
