Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (03/25/1918). Had my gun sights regulated today. Went up, tried them out on a small lake not far from here. Capt. [Philip] Roosevelt just came in with the wildest rumor ever heard. The Germans have taken 30,000 English and 302 guns. Also that a German balloon had drifted over the lines. Observer had papers on him stating they would attack on the 26th just north of us. Oh boy that’s tomorrow if they advance here as on the English Front, our camp will be in German hands soon.
