This diary covers Shannon's experiences in the U.S. Army from July 1, 1918 to July 7, 1919. He describes his journey to France and details everyday life as a soldier, especially the discomforts of life on the front in both the Marne and Verdun sectors. Shannon discusses bathing and sleeping arrangements, gas masks, air raids, and the terrible sights of war-torn France while repairing roads and burying dead soldiers. Shannon includes descriptions of his involvement in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, noting the continuous shelling, gas attacks, and miserable weather conditions. He also describes his company's reaction to the Armistice, writing, "Many happy hearts in our company everyone seems to take life anew."

Shannon spent the rest of his World War I service in Belgium, Luxembourg, and Germany, and he returned to the United States on July 7, 1919. A list of soldier names and hometowns is recorded in the back of the diary. Shannon died on May 20, 1969 and is buried in Gatlin Cemetery in Ardmore, Alabama.]]> Shannon, Archie Duncan]]> World War I diary of Archie Duncan Shannon]]> en]]> Diaries]]> Transcripts]]> Text]]> 1910-1919]]> Manuscripts]]> Waugh, Caroline]]> Gervase, of Tilbury, approximately 1160-approximately 1211]]> English]]> Latin]]> Courts-martial and courts of inquiry--United States]]> Defense information, Classified]]> Intermediate-range ballistic missiles]]> Jupiter missile]]> Leaks (Disclosure of information)]]> Huntsville (Ala.)]]> Madison County (Ala.)]]> en]]> Notes (documents)]]> Text]]> 1950-1959]]> Dannenberg, Konrad]]> Family vacations]]> German Americans]]> New York (N.Y.)]]> Quakertown (Pa.)]]> Dannenberg, Konrad]]> de]]> en]]> Home movies]]> Moving Image]]> 1960-1969]]> NASA publication]]> United States -- National Aeronautics and Space Administration]]> Neptune (Planet)]]> Triton (Satellite)]]> Voyager Project]]> United States-- National Aeronautics and Space Administration]]> under U.
