A passage from the October 8, 1918, diary entry of Corporal Elmer

Sherwood, a soldier in the American Expeditionary Force in France:
Two of our fellows had already been wounded by an explosion near our kitchen this
morning, but I was determined to go back for some mess because I was so
confounded hungry. Besides, shells seemed to be landing everywhere and one place
seemed about as safe as another (or as dangerous), so I climbed out of the trench
and made my way carefully back to the clump of bushes where our kitchen was
concealed.
I had just got a panful of slum and started eating when I saw part of the temporary
trench which I had left screened by an exploding shell. I thought it had come over
the trench, but nojust then Smithy and Netterfield jumped out calling for
stretchers.
I dropped my mess and ran to the trench and looked in. Poor Art was dead, one arm
completely severed from his body. Danny had a hole in his stomach and we placed
him on a stretcher and sent him back to the first aid station. . . .

I have seen many die, but none have been so close to me as these fellows. I have
worked with them and fought beside them every day since I joined the outfit, and
they have been my best pals. But we must carry on, whatever happens.
