Synopsis

When the United States entered The Great War in 1917, along with the mobilization of the military, charitable organizations activated their programs to support the troops.

This book provides transcriptions of his complete correspondence with his family during his service in 1918 and 1919 annotated with footnotes, maps, and a glossary of people and subjects.
