beerdragon54 Posted September 2, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 2, 2018 I bought the most amazing WW1 letter yesterday and I can’t quit reading it. The man was a Sergeant in Company D of the 108th Inf. Regt. The letter is just about the battle of the Hindenburg line. It talks about aerial battles, tanks, gas, dead, and everything that you never usually hear about. Two typed copies were with it in an envelope dated 1926, I’m assuming that is when it was typed. The man’s name was Richard H. Schulz. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beerdragon54 Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share #6 Posted September 3, 2018 Glad you guys liked it. Original is written in pencil but not hard to make out. He typed that he wrote this right after the battle. Detail is something else. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
world war I nerd Posted September 3, 2018 Share #7 Posted September 3, 2018 Thanks for posting the scans. I love reading the first hand accounts written by the Doughboys who actually participated in the actual events … That's real history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
