R Marriott, Homer Lee.

425 Memoir, ca. 1919.

One folder, photocopies.

This is a memoir of a resident of Morgan County, Missouri, concerning his experiences as a soldier in World War One. Marriott served in the 110^th Ammunition Train of the 35^th Division and participated in the Battle of the Argonne in 1918.

This printed memoir contains a narrative account of training in the United States, transportation to the European theater, and combat, particularly at the Battle of the Argonne in 1918. Printed with a title of “Experiences of Homer Lee Mariott[sic] Soldier in the World War 1917—1919,” it bears neither publication information nor a date, although it appears to have been written soon after Marriott’s return to civilian life. There is a photograph of Marriott, seated in uniform, on the second page.

Marriott served in Company E, 110^th Ammunition Train, 35^th Division, A.E.F. His account vividly describes the confusion and terror of battle.
