Lieut. William H.
Dunn Writes
The following letter from Lieutenant William H. Dunn to his
mother, Mrs. Wiley J. Dunn, tells of his expected return to America. Lt. Dunn,
who was commanding Co. K when wounded, has been in a hospital since Sept. 30th.
He was wounded in the battle that broke the Hindenburg line.
London, Eng.
Dec. 5, 1918
My Dear Mother:
Just a few words. I received a letter from you today along
with several more from home. They were the first I have had for some time. I
have not written to you in about a week, for we have been expecting to go home
every day but we are still here. The last report is that we are going Thursday
week (Dec. 12th). I will come back to the States as a stretcher
patient, for not only can’t I walk but I have to keep my foot up all the time.
I will be glad to come back to the States any old way. I am tired of this
country. I will have to have another operation when I get back to America, so
the sooner I get back the sooner I am right again. I will be in the States any
way, if nothing happens from now on. Tell everybody not to write to me any more
unless you hear from me again. I will wire you just as soon as I get in
hospital in the U.S.A.
With lots of love,
Will
