American soldier recounts hardships and a dramatic air battle
In a May 24 letter from France, Private William J. Buchanan of Truck Co. C, 711 American Expeditionary Force, describes cold nights without gear, stolen barracks bags, and scarcity. He recalls river swimming halted by higher authority, quiet sector life, and a lively baseball team facing rival MPs before witnessing a dogfight and a downed German two seater observatory plane. He notes a German pilot's capture, the American unit’s pursuit, and ends with greetings from Camp Bowie friends.
