제가 그를 만나러 가기 전날, 편지의 앞면에 '전사'라고 적힌 채로 편지가 반송되었습니다. 그는 독일 라인강에서 전사했습니다. 제가 귀국하기 전에 제가 알고 함께 야구를 했던 아르핀 출신 친구들 중 6명이 죽었습니다.

The day before I was going over to see him, the letter was returned with Killed in Action written on the front sideways on the letter. He was killed on the Rhine River in Germany. Before I returned home, six of the guys from Arpin that I knew and played baseball with were killed.
