Willim Kittmer
"We were all in the reserve trench when a shell burst and hit ten of us..." Bill Kittmer, France 18 Sept. 1916
September, 18, 1916
Dear Mother:-
I suppose you have received my card by now saying I was wounded, I just got a piece of shrapnel in the chest, am doing fine. Expect to be out of the Hospital soon.
We were all in the reserve trench when a shell burst and hit ten of us. There was only one badly hurt and he will be in the Hospital for a couple of months.
I will send the piece that hit me home so as you can see it. Well Mother, this is all for now so will close.
With love to all I remain
Your Loving son,
Bill
