Page one of Letter No. 14, written by Pvt. Willis W. Wagener to his family on August 21, 1918. Wagener describes sheltering from German artillery fire in a dugout he wryly calls a 'cave dweller's' home, offering a vivid firsthand account of front-line conditions during the final months of World War I. A section of text naming a wounded comrade has been removed from the page. Project: 218261
