WORLD WAR I
"Will drop you a line. Am getting on o.k. I have been all over this country. I was on the front near two months. Was at the front the last day of the fight. Some glad boy, I was, to get out. It looked at times like it was impossible for a man to ever get out, but I came out without getting a scratch, and I am thankful. The Lord was with me. I was never scared while in the fight for I knew that I had a mother back home praying for her boy, and I felt sure that her prayers were being answered. Hope to be home soon and will tell you all about it."
- Letter from Rossie to his mother, December 1919
Son of Isham and Nora Nye Britt, husband of Mary Ida Blue.
