World War 1 Soldiers Diary (Battle Of Belleau France)

Absolutely fantastic world war 1 soldiers diary. Couldn't find the soldiers name in the book but his laundry number is in there along with his helmet size & carry weapon.

There is mention of a few locations, I didn't read every page but on the ones I did read there is mention of Montmirail, Battle of Belleau Wood in northern France, "Gress", Brest refers to the French port city of Brest, which served as a major naval base for the American forces, particularly as a landing point for troops and a hub for operations against German submarines throughout the war; the city was also where the U. Navy established a Naval Operating Base alongside the French Navy. Has documented movement from camp to train to battle to other camps, also speaks of the amount wounded/killed on certain days. Mentions he had to sleep in a hay barn one night in France, him being "shelled" and sniped at early hours in the morning (multiple days).

Most the action being in June & July. The back few pages consisting of names & addresses of people in his squadron. Also includes a photo a French woman gave him, stamps, along with other photos and newspaper clippings.
