Abstract
The letters, diary, and service related documents of William Emory Paul, a Captain in the U.S. Army Dental Corps, who served
with the 327th Inf. Reg., 82nd Div. A.E.F. in France during World War I. Most of the documents are supply forms, regulations,
and his service records and identification papers. The diary records his time spent at the front working in medical aide stations
during the Meuse-Argonne campaign, for which he received promotion to Major. The letters are to his parents or to his wife
and despite censorship rules, depict with much detail life in training at Camp Gordon, Atlanta, GA, conditions in war time
France, life at the battle front and the movements of his unit and his travels on leave to Paris, Marseilles and Nice.
