Great Uncle George sends letters home from his enlistment in Illinois until the boys of the 108th Engineers came home in June of 1919. Goal is to post his letters one hundred years to the date he wrote them. He was writing to his Dear Ones at Home and until Armistice he was just "Somewhere in France." Before he went to France and after Armistice he provides first hand reports of his experiences of WWI.

An idea begins -- hundreds of letters from Great Uncle George from before and during his time in WWI. I plan to post the letters on each hundredth anniversary starting the end of this year. Stay tuned as the events begin!
