Newspaper clipping about John Wall, local World War I solider. Article is mostly composed of a letter Wall wrote to his mother. Text: "To Tour Europe and U.S. In Rifle Drill Exhibitions. In a letter dated April 30 at Niedermendig, Germany, John Wall, local boy who is in the Headquarters Co., 38th regiment of the 3rd division, writes his mother the following interesting news: "They are making up a regiment with men from the different units of the 3rd Army Corps, to tour England and give exhibitions in rigle drill and line maneuvers. The 38th furnishers 125 men, or half a company, and Greenleaf and I have both been picked. I feel pretty proud to be chosen out of 3700 men. We will probably tour France and Belguim also, and then on to the U.S. We are to drill here until the 14th of May, then go to Coblenz, where the whole regiment assembles, and leave there the 25th for England. It means quite a lot of drill, but I want to see all of this country before I leave, because I know I'll never come back. I had a letter from Harry Keller yesterday, he said he thought they would go to Paris to do M.P. duty. My division, (3rd) is slated to sail in Auguest, so if nothing happens, will be home for Thansgiving. If all goes well, by the time you get this I will be on my way to England."
Three newspaper clippings pasted onto a loose scrapbook page. Text: "Athena boys who are members of Bat. D. 148th F.A. are Edward Sebasky, George Winship, Sam Starr and Harry Keller. George Winship is not with the battery, having been transferred to hospital on account of illness, and is now scheduled for early return." "Boys of 63rd Home. Allie Bell and Herbert Parker, of Co. B, 63rd Infantry, are home, discharged from the service. They come from Baltimore, Md. where their regiment has been stationed for some time, to Camp Lewis where they received their discharge. Orginally the boys were in Co. L, but later were placed in Co. B. The 63rd, considered to be one of the crack regiments of the army did not have the opportunity to participate in overseas duty." "Dick Winship at Home. Dick Winship arrived in Athena this morning from Camp Lewis, coming by way of Walla Walla and arriving on the 7:45 train. Dick's homecoming was the occasion of rejoicing among his friends as his condition has been the cause of much anxiety. He was a member of Co. G. 306th Infantry, 77th Division and saw service on the front from his entrace into France, going through the Argonne and all subsequent battles, up to the signing of the armistice. Soon after this he accidentally received a broken leg, and ever since has been in a hospital. His is now recovered and able to walk, and thoroughly glad to get home."
