As far as touching and emotional, you'll have to scan through the documents and figure out which ones you want.

Others have provided some excellent sites. However, one which doesn't seem to be on those sites is one of the most famous "History and Rhymes of the Lost Battalion" by Buck Private McCollum with sketches by Franklin Sly and Tolman R. Reamer.
It can be found in its entirety at:
