“I thank God I am an American and will go down with my comrades if the good Lord so wills that I go that way.”
Extract from letter dated August 27, 1918, from Thomas Thomaston, Company F, 167th Infantry, who was killed before his letter reached the Service Station.
“Yesterday was Christmas and believe me we had some dinner—turkey, pies, California cake, dressing, mashed potatoes, celery, tangerines, cigarettes and one cigar and a few other things I did not know any name for—and that makes me think, I thank you many, many times for the Christmas box. You could not have sent anything that would have pleased me more and I assure you it was appreciated by myself and friends.”
