Robert March Hanes papers, 1908-1919 [manuscript].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36004778

Chiefly letters from Robert March Hanes to his wife, Mildred Borden Hanes, before and after their marriage in 1917. Letters, 1917-1919, are largely from Robert March Hanes during his service as an officer with the first and second armies during World War I; they provide detailed descriptions of military life. Early letters describe Hanes's relationships with other officers and with his orderly, including remarks on conditions in the trenches and the quality of army food. Later letters (after August 1918) discuss actual fighting conditions along the French front and (after October 1918) mopping up activities as the American army advanced and the German army fell back. Also included are a short diary documenting Hanes's activities at the front; a Verdun commemorative coin; a considerable number of letters, 1908-1914, to Mildred Borden Hanes from friends and relatives, some of whom described student life at the University of North Carolina, 1908-1909, and at Yale University, 1913-1914; and Robert March Hanes's travel diary documenting a 1912 European trip.
