Item 1: Full article
Item 2: Detail of an excerpt of a letter from Lieutenant T. E. Dunne, 21st Field Artillery, A. E. F. The letter follows in part: "After traveling for about thirty-five days, and having covered about eight thousand miles, we have finally reached a semi-permanent location. I was notified today that I am to be the telephone and wireless officer for the first battalion of the regiment. All I have to do is see that communications are maintained under any kind of fire. Of course, I don't do the actual work myself, but I am responsible, and that means personal inspection.
"I haven't met but two people I knew before I joined the Army, since I left Chicago last December. Both of them were Loyola Law School boys--Fred Reeve and James Conway. They were still at Camp McArthur when I left."
