NEWS FROM THE FRONT
These are letters written by Basil B. Fees to his mother in Deleware, Ohio between 1917 and 1918. They trace his journey through basic training in Fort Sheridan, Alabama to New York where they boarded a transport for Europe. You can follow his travels through France and Belgium and home again following the armistice on November 11, 1918.
Grandpa served in the medical corps as a "medic" in what they called a Sanitary Train. I need to research this more but it would seem that it was much like a MASH unit as they seemed to move from one place to another by truck or train.
I hope you enjoy reading them.
