Overseas Diary, Alfred Walter Elliot Sr.

Alfred Walter Elliott Collection

This "Overseas Diary" was written by Otterbein student Alfred Walter Elliott, Sr. during his time as an enlisted soldier in the 324th Field Artillery Regiment during World War I. The diary starts in June 3, 1918 as Elliott completed his basic training at Camp Sherman in Chillicothe, OH, and continues through his service in France and the war's conclusion to April 1919. Elliott's near-daily entries provide a unique "ground-level" window into the day-to-day life of American soldiers in WWI.

Transcripts of each diary page are provided within the document.
