Fine day. I send Miss E.E.L. a "flower from the banks of the Rappahannock." Wilber F. Tomlinson, Co. I, 34th N.Y.V. takes supper with us. Our "repast" consists of tripe, soda crackers, mince pie, coffee and English walnuts.

George Beck: June 8, 1941
News just received that trouble broke out in Lamsdorf with the Serbians. Thousands of them were brought in as prisoners. They were giving our lads cigarettes etc. when the guards opened fire on them with machine guns and rifles. Our lads put on punishment through it for a month.
