Parting letter from a French farming unit in WWI
A long fragmentary letter from a World War I unit describes fatigue and delays in movement near Haron Metevin, and the speaker notes a birthday wish to his mother. He reflects on homeland loss, discusses detachments, and stresses unity as he anticipates transport to Ohio and upcoming digs. He mentions Watkins, a village, and the hope of remaining resilient and helping comrades. The tone is wary yet determined as he seeks to reassure family back home.
