Those Who Die
The grocer’s son is on Saipon,
The baker’s now in Rome.
The newsboy that we used to have
Lies buried far from home.
The little laundry man is gone,
He lies there waiting, still,
For the transport that will carry him
Back home from Bougainville.
At Kasserine the Plumber’s boy
Picked up a shrapnel bit,
And in London’s robot-bombing hell
Our neighbor’s son was hit.
Three schoolboys lie in Coral Seas,
No more their tramping feet,
Will echo through the corridors
Though the enemy retreat.
With what adventurous spirit
Those youngsters joined the fray,
The morning of December 8th,
I’ve ne’er forget that day.
At Anzie the fruit man’s son
Fell from a sniping Hun,
And many kids my youngster knew
Lie dying in the sun.
That rich kid on the corner
We used to think so swell
Chalked up his fifteenth Zero
And, died in a fiery hell.
The grocer’s a Norwegian,
The finest boy we knew,
The baker was Bohemian,
The newsboy was a Jew.
So rich and poor alike they fall,
A price they’re glad to pay
To cleanse the world of tyranny,
And pave a better way.
And shall we fail those boys who die
Their sacrifice in vain?
Let’s conquer greed and lust and hate,
And make Honor rise again.

An account of the resource
The collection contains a series of six consecutive letters, beginning on October 6th, 1918 and ending November 15th,1918. The letters give a sampling of what life was like for Frank in France during World War I. The letters tend to be quite repetitive - echoing feelings of boredom and anticipation for the end of the war.

Letter from Frank to his mother and sister
Description
An account of the resource
Frank wrote this letter on October 12, 1918 to his mother and sister. He wrote the letter while he was serving in France during World War I.
In this letter, Frank talks about the weather and says that there is really nothing to do, but he arranged a movie showing through the YMCA for tomorrow. They are likely to stay where they are for the rest of the winter, but they have a nice reading room now and lots of sports – like boxing matches and kangaroo courts. Also they get to keep the Edison for a few more weeks. Frank also asks about how everything is at home. He asks his mother and sister to write a long letter. He says “put a little news in it besides the old formula.”
The letter is written from the experiences and feelings of Frank. It’s interesting that Frank talks about the weather, because generally one talks about the weather when they have nothing else to say. In the letter, Frank even says that there is nothing to do, so weather is one of the few things he has to talk about. Frank generally tries to focus on the little excitements that break up his everyday routine – like the YMCA entertainment. It seems that Frank’s day-to-day experience is fairly dull and bits of news, rumors, and entertainment from the YMCA help to make life as a soldier in France slightly more interesting.

Letter from Frank to his mother and sister
Description
An account of the resource
Frank wrote this letter on October 6, 1918 to his mother and sister. He wrote the letter while he was serving in France during World War I.
Frank begins the letter by saying that he finally received a letter from his mother and sister after waiting six weeks. He mentions the fact that he hasn’t been writing very often, but says it partly because no one seems to respond in quick manner. He also says that he was appointed secretary for the YMCA. He said the reason he applied for the position was because they hadn’t had any entertainment for over a year. Since Frank had become secretary, he had gotten new books for the reading room, as well as a piano and an Edison with three different records. Also, he said that the YMCA arranged to show movies and provide other services for entertainment.
Frank is writing this letter based on what he knows. Living so far away from his family, it seems that letters from loved ones act as a Frank’s link to home. So when his mother didn’t write for six weeks, Frank was hurt and he retaliated by not writing as often. He probably asks his mother and sister to write sooner because he feels isolated from his family and the letter bring him a sense of connectedness. The letters – as well as his new job as secretary and the YMCA entertainment – seem to act as a break from the mundaneness of his daily routine.
