In this page from a 1918 letter, Private Willis W. Wagener writes home to Winnie from the Western Front, confirming a money transfer sent through the Y.M.C.A. and joking about needing mosquito netting, not for mosquitoes, but for flies. Personal letters like this offer an unfiltered window into the everyday discomforts and dry humor of American soldiers serving in France during World War I. Project: 218140
