Gallery: POST CARD 1918 02 18
Writing from Camp Lewis, Washington in February 1918, Private Willis W. Wagener told his mother in Ceres, California about a rain-soaked review, a 25,000-man parade, and his growing fondness for Army life. The postcard and letter together open an intimate window on training camp routine in the months before American troops shipped out to the Western Front.
