Ken Gow: October 11, 1918
October 11, 1918 Just think, old Jerry Boche but 500 yards from where I am writing ... We have given Fritz an awful tuning up, and he seems ready to pass off. He has asked for an armistice and he is getting it in the shape of [our shells] which are screeching over our heads and making him duck ...
I hope Wilson grants no armistice, but will demand unconditional surrender, and then talk peace. Otherwise, the only way we want to talk is with our guns.
- Letter - Lt. Ken Gow, 27th Division. Lt. Gow was killed early October 17, leading his company in an attack.
