WW1 Letter from the Front - by Daniel Buckley

A letter to his mother from US infantryman Daniel Buckley, originally from Co. Cork, Ireland. Buckley was killed a month before the end of the war.

He served with Company K of the 165th US Infantry, and wrote copious missive, some of which make further reference to his Titanic experience.

In this letter he complains about the heat of the sun on the Western Front, and asks his mother not to send socks as he already has fifteen pairs.
