Van Buren Oldham: September 20, 1863
Our brigade having no support fell back yesterday after I was wounded. The fight was continued with much spirit until after dark. My would was from the fragment of a shell. The loss in my company was severe. I went on the battlefield today while the fight was being renewed.

George Beck: September 20, 1942
Thing are getting worse. Meat has got scarcer and we are allowed less freedom. Latest news “English troops tried a landing in Tobruk.” Once again we have been driven off, but the thing is that is worrying the Germans is, “Where are we going to strike next.” Received news that Edna’s husband is missing, the only hope is that things turn out OK. This war has been on three years now and there still seems to be no signs of peace yet.
