Paul Pommer correspondence, 1918-04-18, World War I
Letter from musketeer Paul Pommer addressed to the family of Gust. (Gustav) Pommer in Frankfurt, Germany. Postmarked Kriegslazarett Brussels Feldpost, April 18, 1918. Pommer mentions how happy he was to receive his father’s latest letter. He is still in pain from his wound, but the doctor says the wound is getting better and looks good. Pommer is limited in what he can do since his wrist can only sometimes move. He hopes it will get better quickly. Pommer also mentions the possibility of being transferred to Germany since he is wounded. The days in Brussels are dull since no one is really able to do anything physically. Pommer declares that if it did not take so many to do it, Germany would have made better progress than it had. He hopes the war will end. He thanks his father for the money and, in the hopes of returning to Germany, to not send any more.
