Diary and reminiscence of World War I service with Company D, 127th Infantry, 32nd Division. White (1894-1943), a native of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, kept short daily notes of his activities while in the service. He writes of the trip overseas, building barracks, recreational activities, working in the kitchen, and weather. There are also notes on map reading and loose notes about military procedure. A detailed reminiscence spans basic training in Texas, experiences in France, trench fighting, return to the United States, and wait for discharge. Several poems written by White are also found. There are newspaper clippings of letters written by soldiers predicting their death from wounds and a speech given by General Warren at the Battle of Hunker Hill.
