All the Way From Daun Germany Dear Mother and All
Soldier letters from Daun Germany dated December 11 describe marching through Belgium and Germany. He notes sights of oxen and dogs hitched to wagons, woolen shoes, and comfortable quarters with feather beds. He recalls near misses with shrapnel and machine gun fire, a night attack over the top, and the war’s scale. He longs to return home to write more about people and farm life and asks his mother to reply soon.
