Gallery: LETTER 20
Letter 20 carries Pvt. Willis W. Wagener through the final Allied offensives of 1918 — German soldiers emerging from the fog crying "Kamerad," captured machine-gun nests, and columns of prisoners. He notes his promotion, the death of the officer who once censored his mail, an illness that sent him by night train to a hospital in a converted resort hotel, and the rules governing Christmas parcels from home.
