Greensboro Boy in France Writes Home About Language and Marines
A Greensboro boy in France reports in a letter to his sister that French maidens don’t know English, but he can learn a few phrases. He notes his Marine service since last April, three months in France, earning a marksmanship badge, buying liberty bonds, and plans to reconnect with Greensboro friends when possible. He praises French people and says French girls favor American soldiers, while he can speak some French.
