It highlights the selection process, temporary assignments, and eventual rejoining of units, with references to notable figures and historical affiliations.
A trove of letters from Waterloo area soldiers in France details frontline conditions. Authors describe gas masks, dugouts, and voluntery service, with vivid accounts of shelling, gas, and Red Cross aid.
