Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker's 1918 wartime diary entry. (05/09/1918). Made a trip out to the front line trenches this afternoon. Certainly very interesting. Went out in front of the village of Seicheprey which was wrecked a few weeks ago when the Germans attacked. Life is certainly hell for the infantry for living comforts. Mud and water, stench and bugs of all kinds always. Dugouts to sleep in. It’s terrible. Am more convinced now than ever that an aviator has a easy life.
