November 11, 1918 -- Armistice Day

Uncle George  Stevens Sherwood did not write a letter home on this auspicious day. This was a commemorative Franc that the family had obtained after the war - it was issues in 1920 but is in commemoration of the end of the War.  George will resume his letters home later in the week describing the incredible silence he is enjoying now that the conflict is over. Soon he will go back and describe where he has been and done.
