Charles J. Deahey Letter, 1918 September 20

 File — Box: 4251.002, Folder: 5

Scope and Contents

This letter to Mr. Herman Badenhoope from Charles J. Deahey (his son's commanding officer) explains that his son was wounded when a grenade exploded. His injuries were not serious, however, because a YMCA-issued copy of the New Testament deflected some of the shrapnel.
