Eddie V. Rickenbacker WWI Diary
Went up to where Capt. Coolidge fell, it was just a few kil. east of Grandpre and about 400 meters behind our lines. It was a terrible sight, the motor was four feet in the ground and poor Ham [Hamilton] on top all burnt to a crisp. Saw several combats and had several shells drop right near our car on the way back. Newspaper prints account of my engagement to Miss [Priscilla] Dean a movie queen which is not true.
