The items shown below are very old documents that I had with me during WWI. They are very old and worn. A lot of them can't really be read, but you can get a good idea of the items we carried with us. These documents were extremely important and valuable to me, and I wanted to save them in order to document my travels during World War I for years to come. |

When soldiers were being transported overseas, we were given postcards to send to our families to let them know that our ship had arrived safely. This is a postcard that I sent home to my parents. They kept it and I saw it when I was discharged and arrived back home.  Photo #0049  Photo #0050 |
 Photo #0047  Photo #0048 Photos #0047-0050 are copies of my pay record book. Soldiers were paid a monthly salary for being in the military. This book is where I kept track of how much I was paid and what day I was paid.
