$16.00

This is an interesting and scarce grouping of 2 original World War One letters, written by an officer who served in action in France in 1918 in the 77th Division of the American Expeditionary Force. This officer served in all of the 77th Division\'s battles, first in command of a platoon and later, in the Meuse-Argonne battle, in acting command of a company.


There are 2 interesting letters, contained in a single censored cover, both written in France in the spring of 1918.


There is interesting content throughout these letters. Each letter is 4 pages long. There is content about France, and about this officer\'s earliest impressions of the war, preparations for going into the front lines for the first time, and more, including:


\"It is wonderful out tonight. Doesn\'t seem like war, but they say there is one just a few miles from here. (About as far as Madison)

We are going to do lots of training before we go into action, there is so much to learn about the game.

Things are not so scarce here as you would think. We get plenty of meat, bread, and potatoes, the best coffee we ever tasted, and plenty of eggs and milk.

With the good ole\' U.S.A. behind the works, the Allies know how things are coming out.\"


There is additional interesting content.


*** The letters were written by Lieutenant Richard R. Blazer, 306th Infantry Regiment, 77th Division A.E.F.


Note: One letter, dated 8 April 1918, was definitely misdated. It was probably written on 8 May. This officer hadn\'t arrived in France until late April.


Very interesting original WWI letters. Please see scans for condition.
