Letters From the Front From Harry Hall in France
A wartime letter from Corporal Harry Hall describes front life across six of nine months, travel toward Aix les Bains, tents in frost, and longing for home. He details trench work near Verdun and Sedan, rail-building for artillery, air raids, and the diverse scenes of France from Lyons to St Pol, with reflections on the American doughboys and the war’s toll.
