A fragment recalls U S sailors aboard the Prometheus during WWI travel through France to Brest and Cardiff. They describe biking country lanes, drinking local wine, ship repairs, an encounter with a submarine threat, injuries, and a hospital stay before returning to the United States. The diary ends with reflections on Odd Fellows benevolence and local youth arrests in Dallas.
