You might also check out the collected works of Robert Service. Although best known for his poems of the Yukon, such as the "epic" tale of Dan McGrew, Service served with the Ambulance Corps in WW1, and wrote a small collection of poems entitled something like Diary of a Red Cross Man. Some of these verses are quite moving.
