Interesting Letter From Mary West From 1918 Front
A Red Cross nurse in France writes to her father B F West from Paris and Chamonix describing hospital life, convoys, and battles with Fritz. She notes leave in Paris and the Alps, visits to a border town, and the warmth of French villagers who gifted her tokens. She laments winter conditions but stays cheerful about the wounded and colleagues.
