In Their Words

1st Lt. Daniel Joseph Birmingham (2)

“It’s the most amusing thing in the world to see a soldier with his respirator on trying to put the mask on a mule during a gas attack. Real Barnum and Bailey stuff. I mean on the face of the mule. They hate the damn thing and the fool driver has his troubles alright.”

Letter of May 10th, 1918 from
1st Lt. Daniel Joseph Birmingham, 28th Inf., Co. M
