“Some where in France.”
Mrs. Cora York.
McCrory, Ark.
Dear Auntie:
I know you must think that I have been killed, by my not writing as I should, but I haven’t been even wounded, yet and don’t expect to be.
I have been over here about one month and like here just fine. I came over in the 5th Casual Co., but was transfered to the 97th Casual after I landed, was in the 97th about one week then was transfered to Co. “L” 164 Inf. 41 Div., in which organization I was until yesterday, this time transfering me to the Military Specialist Company.
I don’t know how long I will be here. Excuse this writing, for I have only a candle to which to write.
Well I will close, write soon to your loving nephew,
Sgt. Egbert V. Dupree,
Military Specialist Company, A. P. O. 727 A. E. F.
NOTES: Egbert V. Dupree was born in May 1897 in Woodruff County, Arkansas and died in New York, New York on May 24, 1927. He is buried in the Cypress Hills National Cemetery in Brooklyn, New York.
