War Letters From France to Mother and Father
In a long letter from Arno Stacy Rebbeck, he describes imminent sailing to New York, witnessing wounded soldiers returning from France, and praying for the end of the war. He notes hospitals, large casualty trains, and men missing limbs or eyes. He contrasts harsh war with hope of home, and shares daily life in France and England, including food, roads, YMCAs, and the prospect of peace.
