LETTERS HOME #814153 Pte. Donald Ross 187th Batt C.E.F. 1898 ~ 1918 Copyright Stephen Workman War Hospital, May 3 1917 Dear Katie No doubt you will be wondering why I have not written. Well you can see by the address that I have been wounded. I have been in bed almost a month. I was shot through the right foot on the morning of April 9, Easter Monday. I was unable to get to the first aid station until Tuesday morning and then I had to crawl a mile on my hand and knees as I was unable to walk. It was very swollen as I was unable to dress it properly in the field. When I got to a clearing station in France I was put under chloroform and the doctors literally cut my foot all to pieces.... Your loving brother Donald. Previous Letter ~ Next Letter
