A Large Group of a WWI 79th Division Soldier’s Correspondence

The group is comprised of approximately seventy letters as well as a few postcards, written by Private Muchmore of the 304th Sanitary Train of the 79th Division. The letters appear to date from 1918, both before and after Private Muchmore went to France. The group also includes two postcard sized photographs of camp scenes as well as a postcard sized portrait photograph of Private Muchmore in uniform, with the 79th Division patch clearly visible on his left shoulder. The letters are handwritten in both pen and pencil and are legible. Overall the group comprises an interesting archive of one soldier’s experiences overseas in world War I and it is certainly worthy of further research.
