War letters from Reynolds brothers reveal end of WWI and awaiting return
In two wartime letters from October and November 1918, Patrick Reynolds and SGT James Reynolds describe moving through deserted villages, sleeping in real beds, and good health with few influenza cases. They note German destruction, Allied prisoners returning home cheerful, and talk of possible Christmas return to the States while awaiting necessary postwar work and repatriation.
