An original World War One letter. It is dated France Dec with no year. The letter reads:
Dear Ma
I received your most welcome letter and was very pleased to hear how well you are all getting along. I have not been able to write you for almost two weeks. We have been haveing some hard luck. Last Tuesday the best Sergeant in the outfit got killed with a grenade. They buried him Wednesday we had to come back thirty miles to bury him. The whole company is broke up about losing him I have been working for him ever since I came up to the front and know just what a fine man he was. After that they decided to move us back to the S.O.S. so we had a two day trip back to a little town outside the Langues I don't know just how long we will be working here but I am in hopes they will send us home......All the big citys we have been seeing were all shelled.....you can imagine us coming back from a hell on earth to real civilization and that is nothing to what it will be to when we hit the old U.S.A.........They say the President is going over this road and we are going to fix it up so it won't shake the life out of him and I hope it will be our last job......How is Pa. Tell him our outfit is in no division and all I can say is we are in the first Army and have been doing all the road work for them on the St Mechiel front the Argonna and the Argonna Mouse front. We just left Dun Sus Moase and are now in a little town just below the 101st Inft.....Pvt Jos V. Shea
The letter is in very good condition, with a little light wear.
