WWI Letter, Pvt. Willis W. Wagener, "In Camp, Oct. 13th [19]18" - News of German Peace Overture and Recent Combat Drive, Letter 20 Page B
Writing from camp on October 13, 1918 - weeks before the Armistice - Pvt. Willis W. Wagener describes hearing news that Germany had accepted President Wilson's peace terms, even as artillery still boomed at the front. He also recounts just returning from a grueling multi-week drive, almost certainly the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, in this rare candlelit letter home. Project: 218252
