Dorchester Illustration no. 2166
Postcard sent from the front in World War I, postmarked Aug. 7, 1918 to Miss Laurette Moulton, 1683 Dorchester Avenue, Dorchester, Massachusetts, USA.
How are all you at home. Suppose by the time you get this card, you will be thinking of starting back to school again; and be sure you study French so you can be a nurse in the next war and know how to take to the people over here. Maybe this war will last long enough. Some of us are at [unreadable] on detached service for a while about 25 miles from the[readable]. Many Mass. wounded boys here. Just heard last night that Soissons had been taken again by the allies. Best wishes you all. Private Harold Jenks, Mobile Operating Unit no. 1, section 2. Amer. Exp. Forces
