The collection consists of correspondence between the White family, dating 1915-1935. The bulk of the correspondence (1918-1919)
is written by Steve to his family while he is serving in Selles-sur-Cher, France with Machine Gun Replacement Company #1.
He writes about boys being mustered out, how his unit was attached to the 41st division, but no longer is, where he is stationed,
and Replacement Companies that are being transferred into different divisions. Correspondence in April 1919 are written in
Army Hospital 26 in France, and the hospital in Nantes, France; White writes about his condition and going in front of the
surgeons and S.C.D. Board. Further correspondences are written to Daisy White from soldiers stationed in France, and aboard

letters are addressed to Ethelene Clay in Rome, Georgia, from Arthur C. Rollins. Rollins' writes from Massachusetts and Boothbay,
Maine. The collection also includes newspaper clippings (preservation copies), and a picture of flags of the allies in World
War I.
