Soldiers Hardships and Harvest Duty From Front to Home
A letter from a soldier recounts multiple trench escapes and sickness in France and England, convalescent home recovery, and plans for light work in England while awaiting full recovery. The piece notes daily life, friends, and concern for fellow soldiers as well as the decision to mobilize enlistees for harvesting in Manitoba farms and the weighty new steel helmet issued to protect troops.
