Vestaburg Soldier in France Sends Personal Letter Home
Harry Davenport, son of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Davenport of Vestaburg, writes from Spincourt France in November 1918 about moving through Issurtille Meuse Verdun and Meuse hospital work with the Sith Engineers. He recalls frontline shelling, German actions, civilian tragedies, returning prisoners and the joy of homeward hopes as his unit advances across occupied towns. He describes collecting souvenirs, sending home a helmet and German gun, and notes his regiment in the third army and eight moves in three weeks.
