The author is a male who is serving in the United States Army in 1919 as a driver transporting officers to various locales in France near the former frontlines. The war had just ended 11 Nov. 1918 a little over two months before this diary begins 25 Jan. 1919 thus our author sees a number of the former battle fields and entrenchments of the frontlines various destroyed French cities and towns and he makes a tour of Paris. He also visits war cemeteries and attends various events at the Red Cross or at Base Hospital 53 amongst other places. </p><p> There is much about his regular care and maintenance of his car and picking up military officers and travel to other military installations towns or places or simply acting as the driver as the officers go out on the town pick up prostitutes bed them at a local hotel and afterwards driving both the officer and prostitute to their respective homes. </p><p> The diary recounts the various 'joyrides' that the author and his fellow servicemen take to nearby towns the dinners they seek out meeting French girls bartering with the local French population with cash chocolates and cigarettes for various items like watches fruit gloves etc. The diary also recounts the steamer ride home from France to Newport News Virginia which took from 24 June to 5 July.</p><p> <b> Sample Quotes from the Diary:</b></p><p>"From other diary</p><p>Jan 25 1919</p><p>Have neglected diary.

1735279042Dublin: Samuel Fairbrother 1735. Regarding an important controversy over taxation of landed Protestants of Ireland by the Clergy. Many were forced by economics to sell their lands and leave; the result of this "tythe" was threat of mass emigration to America by the remaining Protestants. A report from an ad hoc committee of the Irish House of Commons called in 1735 to consider an important question on tax burden and emigration. Irish clergy had demanded an additional income from the imposition of a tax for "agistment" pasturage of cattle on Irish Protestant landowners. The committee decided after reviewing the evidence presented in this report that the tax would "impair the Protestant interest" by causing Protestants to emigrate to America reducing the influence of the established church in Ireland. It resolved to find a "proper remedy" though it took no legal action until the Irish House of Commons was dissolved in 1800 when the parliament in London forced an abolition of the old tithes as a formality. 8 folded quarto leaves in a folded drab portfolio.
