TRANSCRIBED FROM THE POCAHONTAS STAR HERALD JANUARY 3, 1919 P. 3
Nov. 25, 1918,
Dear Dad:
How are you by now? I sure feel fine since peace has come and the war is at an end.
We do not do much of anything now, except march. We march a day—then rest a day. We are going into Germany soon. After we came in from marching yesterday, we sat down to a meal of corn beef and hard bread.
We had a rain last night, which was the first since the guns stopped firing. The Huns sure went back to Germany in a hurry.
I have attended church many times since I have been over here.
Will stop, as this is already the longest letter I have written since coming over. I hope I will be home in the sweet bye and bye.
Pvt. Fred Frankenberger,
Co. C. 344th M. G. Bn., A. E. f.
NOTES: Frederick Carl Frankenberger wrote this letter from Stenay, France. He was born in Randolph County Arkansas on October 30, 1892 and died in Oklahoma on October 16, 1966. He is buried in the Green Hill Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Sapula, Oklahoma.
