WWI

Written by a soldier at Camp Sheridan, in January 1919. From the letter……The 209th Engineers is no more. The boys are leaving this P.M. for their respective home camps. We are sure a happy bunch. I said good-by to Mr. and Mrs. Smith last night. We have everything turned in and are ready……..I am going to Camp Devens, but I don’t know exactly when I will get home. Just expect me any time in 2 weeks…….

Written by a soldier at Camp Sherman, during WWI, in February 1918. From the letter…….Will take a few moments to write you a small note to let you know am working to beat h--- believe me kid don’t stop for nothing.

How in the h--- are you Benny. Wow have a bottle of Millers on me. Gee but I could put one away now. If they would only give me a chance to go out on a celebration wow would I lick them up. “Let it to me”. Gee but this is sure some nice Sunday. Now I would like to take a gold fish out for a walk I mean just a walk that’s all……Don’t know what a skirt looks like any more kid but I will leave my share to you so help yourself……Just so there is some left when I do get back……As the news are now we move to Florida it may be France instead of Florida. Benny am hitting the scales at 158 lbs. now. How fat a fellow will get when he gets sent to bed at 9:00 PM
