Bill, the misspelling doughboy of Dere Mable, keeps writing home to his girl from France, now through the last five months of fighting in 1918. Barrages, fog, French villagers he cannot understand and army food all come through in his cheerfully ungrammatical letters, which make light of dangers he plainly takes seriously enough.
Comic letters that delighted American soldiers and their families after the Armistice, best read alongside Dere Mable. Download the free EPUB.
