註釋Diary of World War I soldier from Douglas, Nebraska with dated entries and pencil sketch cartoon drawings depicting his experiences as a private in the Army Signal Corps (Company E, 405th Telegraph Battalion). The bound diary (15 x 9 cm) is titled "A Soldier's Diary (English-French edition)," arranged by Russell Lowell Furlong and published by Jordan & Company, Chicago, U.S.A. The diary begins with a cartoon depicting his arrival as civilian at Camp Lewis, Wash. [i.e. Fort Lewis, Wash.] on Oct. 22, 1917 and ends on May 6, 1918 in New York, N.Y., the day before he ships out for France. Details of the diary include military duties and tasks performed and the locations of stops on the troop movement across the country. Interspersed with the text are 11 pencil cartoons, many with humorous themes and captions, depicting a typical soldier's life. Also includes a phrasebook with title "The Soldier's French Phrase Book" (Chicago: Felt & Tarrant, 1918), heavily annotated in pencil. The inside cover has a handwritten list of places in France and Germany with some corresponding postal stamps in the back. Two separate cartoon sketches (21 x 13 cm, both dated 1918 in France) depicting the kind of Signal Corps operations shown in idyllic recruiting posters and the actual experience titled "As Is!" One cartoon sketch depicting a peasant looking woman in a harness pulling a goat that is pulling a cart titled "The Way They Do It In Germany."
