Written from St. Aignan, France on November 24, 1918 -- less than two weeks after the Armistice -- this letter from Private Willis W. Wagener to his father describes life at a Replacement Camp and the slow, uncertain process of returning to his unit now that the fighting had ended, offering a personal window into the immediate aftermath of World War I for American troops still overseas.
