Private Willis W. Wagener writes home to his mother on American Y.M.C.A. stationery, August 30, 1918, describing life on 'dump guard' duty with the American Expeditionary Forces in France. The Y.M.C.A. supplied free writing paper and support services to millions of American troops overseas, and such letters offer intimate, firsthand accounts of daily soldier life during World War I.
