Here's a Hilarious Form Letter from WWI. I'm reading a lot of World War I-era letters right now as I get ready to write the sixth Kopp Sisters novel, which takes place during the war. Letters are wonderful because they offer a firsthand glimpse into life during wartime, but they're also frustrating, because military censorship made it impossible for letter-writers to get too specific about their whereabouts or what they were up to. ("Somewhere in France" was the standard return address used by every soldier at the front.)
