It's not so much any boastful claims I'd be interested in reading, it's the matter-of-fact incidentals I'd relish. "We passed by 'A's tavern next to 'B's smithy" is of interest to me. "A British musket ball severed my canteen line," tells me something apart from the breathless close call that was intended. "My cousin with the bad leg who lived in town 'C,' on the north border of town 'D,' who's wife's father was a noted Tory, made my bayonet."
