In this World War I account, Corporal Harry S. Hovey provides a brief chronology of his unit’s activity and gives his first impressions of France and of war.
This document comes from a collection of “Personal War Experiences” that WWI servicemen were asked to write after their return from the front during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The men were personnel of the 36th Division – known as the Lone Star Division, formed from the Texas and Oklahoma National Guard – of the American Expeditionary Forces (AEF).
