Munger in Letter Home From Front Near St Aubin Sur Aire
Adventures of Corporal Edward Munger describe life in France on November 24 1918 as he awaits homeward. He details his unit a Prisoner of War Company No 4 training near Bourre and St Aignon, travel from Philadelphia to New York to Cherbourg and Mont Richard, and life among fellow Americans with front gunfire heard at Toul and Ligny. He mentions awaiting mail from Grace and Lloyd, fond memories at home, and hopes to see Ned after landing. He notes humor about uniforms meals and French locals and asks his father to send no more gifts due to a heavy pack. He ends with affection and plans to write again.
