The photocopy of the back cover contains a list of all of the places John was in Europe.

Some letters of interest are one dated October 8, 1918, where John tells his parents that he has been on the front for eight days; this battle is revealed in later correspondences to have been the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. In a letter dated October 3, 1918, John states he has received the official news of Turkey’s surrender. On November 13, John writes from Verdun to tell his family that the war is officially over.
