Merriam Press Military Biography MH2 (First Edition, 2014). This is the story of Raymond Noel Dye, one of the youngest members of the Ranger battalions of World War II. Many imminent politicians, statesmen, authors and historians have told their stories of that pivotal moment in the history of the world far better and in far richer detail than I could ever hope to do. The same can be said of a multitude of soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen. I will not retell the story of the war, but instead strive to tell the story of a very small and personal part of that war, the part that concerned one of the youngest privates in one of the Army’s newest units. This is Noel's story, and those early Rangers, who blazed a trail of glory for others to follow. They are heroes every one. 21 photos.
Leading the Way Darby Ranger Noel Dye eBook AH Durshimer III
I had the privilege of meeting the author at a summer workshop. We work in the same district. When I overheard him discussing his book, I looked it up online. I immediately did two things. I ordered the book and scheduled it’s review. I then took my card to him and told him what day the review would be posted. I was that interested in the book.Art is extremely knowledgeable about the Vietnam War and the World Wars. Through a friend he had the opportunity to meet Noel Dye, who was one of Darby’s Rangers. I had heard of Darby’s Rangers. I had watched the movie. I did not know who Noel Dye was. Art has skillfully taken this man’s story and told it in a way that you feel like you are sitting in on the interviews. For me that is important. I have limited knowledge of wars. When some part or some person in a war peaks my interest then I dig deeper and learn more. This book has once again set me on that path and made it easier for me because it included a bibliography. With all of the facts I was afraid it would read like a list of battle facts. This is so far from the truth. I was very impressed with not only the story, but the writing of the story.
Noel is a very down to earth person. One thing that was obvious as he was telling the story to the author was how vivid his memories were. My mother and I were discussing this. Her father fought in WWI. She said the one thing that haunted him was sitting in a fox hole with his buddy having a conversation. When his buddy didn’t answer he looked over and saw his head had been blown off. She remarked that he had said it just so matter-of-factly. This is how Noel talks of his injuries and losing his buddies. These are memories that never leave you. Hopefully the soldier finds a way to deal with them so they no longer haunt them.
Two other things I loved about this book. There are a collection of letters that Noel’s family had saved for him. In this way we see what was going through his mind, and how little he was able to relay to his family. The other thing was the pictures he graciously allowed the author to put into the book. I am very pleased I overheard his conversation mentioning his book. The funny thing in all of this is that you would think that with such a love of history that Art would teach that subject. He teaches English. In my book this makes his students extremely lucky. When he has to find extra reading materials, be it books, essays, letters, etcetera to go with his lesson, he is in a position to do so. He has a wealth of knowledge in his hands. Any parent would be lucky to have him for a teacher. He is currently working on another book. I look forward to reading it when he has it finished.

Leading the Way Darby Ranger Noel Dye eBook AH Durshimer III Reviews
Great book...
Loved it
Mr. Durshimer has done an excellent job of bringing the personal experiences and exploits of Noel Dye to the reader in an easy to read and interesting format. At only 108 pages, it's an enjoyable afternoon's read, and I highly recommend it.
It was a well written book about the life of the Army Ranger Noel Dye in WWII and what he did and how he did it.after reading I felt that I had been there with him watching.
My son wrote this book and I know his deep love of the American Soldiers. He has been with Mr. Dye to get the facts and he wanted the book to be about Mr. Dye's recollection of the time he was in service. Mr. Durshimer is part of an army reenactment group and spends many weekends in putting on demonstrations for the public. When he was able to meet Mr. Dye and hear his story, Mr. Durshimer knew that he wanted to honor him by writing about him.
I think that Art Durshimer did an excellent job in writing the story of WWII Ranger Raymond Noel Dye. Art, as he has said, had the pleasure of meeting Noel through a friend who was also a re-enactor. I on the other hand had a little more knowledge about Noel. You see, I was married to him for over 33 years. So many of the books written about the war had some very vivid stories. Noel never talked about the very bad part of his war. Although I know that he lived with it every day, his telling of this story really shows his softer side, a side that no one will ever see again. You see, My Noel passed away on March 8th 2015. I thank all of the people who have read his story.
