| Comments: | Dear Mr. Staley,
I am writing my second book. It is almost complete. It involves a soldier in WW1 who writes home to "Kate," his 17 year old bride to be. She lives in Louisiana, MO in a home built in 1840 by slave labor. He is killed in March 1919 on his way home to America. May I have permission to have segments of some of your great grandfather's letters to his Mary? I also thought his picture would look good on the cover with the house in the background. I'm not sure how the cover will look later but right now it looks great. Would you please let me know if it is ok to use part of the letters and maybe the photo. It is the one of him in his military uniform. The book is entitled,"A House Inherited" PS This house is still standing and people are living in the 23 room house. Louisiana is a river port on the Mississippi River. Thanks and God bless. I loved reading all of the letters to Mary. |

| Comments: | My great aunt was a pack rat and saved everything related to her brother's (my grandfather) duty in WWI. I never understood all the postcards or the YMCA "tourist-like" brochures from AIX-les-BAINS. Your explanation of the WWI soldier's leave areas solved this mystery. Thank you. |

| Comments: | My son (who has a Masters Degree in History and is constantly searching family history) had brought his great grandfather uniform down from the attic. Our discussions led me to the Internet searching for the pay of WWI soldiers. I came across your grandfather's beautifully written letters which pulled me in immediately. I couldn't stop reading. What a wonderful written history he left for his family and others.
Thank you for sharing these on the Internet. |

| Comments: | Thank you for posting your grandfather's WWI letters online! I have greatly enjoyed reading them. I recently started transcribing the diary and letters my grandfather, Chester Bidleman, wrote between the springs of 1917 and 1919. He was in Company "C" of the 137 infantry of the 35 Division, having come from Kinsley, Kansas. I'm having a great time learning about his unit's activities and movements around the world, mostly France. Your grandfather's letters bring more depth to my research efforts. |

| Comments: | enjoyed the letters- My dad was in the 140th Infantry of the 35th Division, serving as a messenger for Ralph Truman, Harry's cousin, all the through the Arronne drive. From what I have learned, he was one of about six or seven who spent the whole time on the front during the 35th efforts . He was gassed several times and blown of his motorcycle on many occasions, for his efforts the was award the silver cross.

| Comments: | Hello,
I envy that you have kept hold of these letters. I am currently studying at Rainford College in St Helens, Merseyside. I am doing an English Language Course and at the moment am taking out some coursework to study language. I was interested in studying the laguage of letters from the war, from my Grandmother to her family although I can no longer get hold of them as she has died and the letters are unable to be found. I was wondering if I could use your letters as the data for my coursework. I would take care of the data, it would not be shown to anybody under your circumstance if you wish, and I will completley and honestly respect these letters. Please get back to me as soon as you can. Thankyou and best regards. Stephanie Hodgetts. |

I am searching for other personal collections of letters sent home by soldiers. I have just received 15 letters that my grandfather, Sidney Emerson Grout wrote to his sister Corrie Grout during his training at Camp Devens, his arrival in France in March 1918 and his work for the Postal Express Service. |

| Comments: | Dear Sir / Madam
I have in my possession a World War 1 flag that measures five and a half inches by three inches, it is silk and has 48 stars on it, i assume that that was the amount of states in the country at that time. It was given to my grand father and it passed down to my mother and to me after she passed away. The history that my mother was told was that it was exchanged some where in France by a American soldier GI to my grand father. Can you please give me or tell me where i can find out any information or that you may know about it. Kind regards Michael Fowler |
