Courrier de Paul Kramer

Letter written by Paul Kramer on March 11, 1916, a few days before his death: "I am going back down to Verdun this morning after 6 days of hell. Ah my God! What a slaughter! What a butchery. even at Arras. My regiment has just lost two-thirds of its strength. In the end, we held on despite the gases and flaming liquids. The Boches only use 150 and 210 shells."
