Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary

Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (03/04/1918). The weather is terrible. Snowing like the Devil and no possibility of going back today, so have arranged an engagement with my [blank] for this evening. She’s rather pretty. French Maiden dark and rather small but has a very sweet disposition as most French girls have. Hope the weather permits our returning tomorrow as I am fed up with the Battle of Paris. In fact, am crazy to get back to work.
