Born in a small town in Ohio, Fred's letters home from the Great War are written from the heart. From Basic Training to the "boat ride" home, Fred Marshall describes an everyday life of a soldier who was chosen to do incredible things. A military trained photographer, many of his photographs are included, in addition to his thoughts, needs and desires. From Madison Barracks, New York, to New York City, to Paris and on to Holland, he documents his life as an American soldier. His very descriptive letter home from Paris the day after the Accord was announced alone is a gem! Thoughts of home and his amazing time spent in Holland at The Hague Peace Talks are included. He was the only photographer selected by the American Expeditionary Forces to record the Peace Conference as it commenced. A true, one of a kind memoir from a man who was not a Hero, but a Veteran who documented the times from a very unique perspective.
