[Letter from Wilbur D. Kennedy to Carmelite (Miller) Kennedy, July 17, 1918]

Letter from Wilbur D. Kennedy to Carmelite (Miller) Kennedy, July 17, 1918. Discusses frequent bombings of their area and writes, "I had to take one of our Lieuts over to one of the evacuation hospitals yesterday and I never had the full horror of war so forcibly brought to my attention. I've been on the front here for three months now and nothing struck me so forcibly as this trip. I can't tell any more this time but will write it all in my diary. The other night I went up to the front during a big attack - the heroes of this or any other war are the doughboys all right." One folded sheet, four handwritten pages.
