Letters Written to Dad from the War Front
Sergeant C. V. Andrews stationed in France writes a Christmas letter to his father J. H. Andrews detailing his voyage from Hoboken to Le Havre, through Liverpool, Mehun and Bordeaux. He describes life aboard the Cunard liner, front-line heat, shipboard drills, and his work in a large ordnance shop. He mentions meals, weather, and the possibility of returning home, along with notes on the broad wartime experiences and duties.
