Across the Pond by Ted Richardson from France
Ted Richardson, a Colville boy in France, writes John Shirer about his rough experiences since leaving the U. S. He details outfitting in New York, a sea voyage, an England stop, billets in France, and visits with fellow Colville men. He describes a chateau stay, daily life, and the Legion of Honor ceremony, expressing longing for home and asking for mail and news.
