Description:
|
Letter from musketeer Paul Pommer addressed to the family of Gust. (Gustav) Pommer in Frankfurt, Germany. Postmarked Glogau, June 6, 1918. Pommer remarks that a new week has begun, and the week before he was in another city. Pommer received a walking tour of the hospital initially on his arrival and spent the rest of his time sight seeing locally. The day he is writing he drank some coffee and went to a restaurant. He sometimes thinks about where the people he met in Brussels are. His address had not changed much; it is just another hospital for the wounded. Only the information on the barracks has changed. Overall, Pommer describes his situation as tolerable.
