Gunny, you have just listed two that I would have recommended, although I believe both of them are hard to come by. Also try Falcons of France by Charles Nordhoff, about the Lafayette Escadrille.

I love 'Under an English Heaven' by Robert Radcliffe.
It transports you to wartime England and is beautifully written

A Man from Alamein by C Mcdonald Hull a brilliant book about the British Army in the Western desert based on the Green Howards.
Man from Alamein: Amazon.co.uk: C.Macdonald Hull: Books
It would make a great film but as it only features British soldiers it's got no chance !!

1st July 1916
Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
