Charles J. Deahey Letter, 1918 September 20

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.
