Honorable discharge May 16/19.From the "Letters From The Boys" column in the 15 Jan 1919 issue of the Caldwell Republican Journal:
Somewhere in France December 11, 1918 Miss Lucy Sorg Summerfield, Ohio, Dear Little Sister; Just a few lines this Tuesday evening to let you know that I am well and getting along fine, trusting this will find you O.K. and enjoying the best of health. Several of the boys and I are sitting around the table writing etters home. I received one of your letters which was written November 14 and can't express my thoughts how much I was pleased to hear from you. As that was the first letter I had from you since I am "Over here." Tell father I also received the amount of money he sent me O.K. I have plenty now, $65 and have a pay coming in a few days, so he don't need to send me any more 'till I ask him to. I draw $40.20 per month. Perhaps the weather is pretty cold over there now. Haven't had any snow "Over here" yet, nothing but rain and mud, it has rained quite often the last week.Well, Lucy, they say we boys have to go to Germany in a few days. But I hope that statement is not certain. I would rather go the other way, toward home would suit me better. Don't you think so? I wrote Edward a letter about a week ago. Do you know when he will come home? I imagine he would get to come soon. You can tell sister Minnie what I have to say, as I don't get time to write to all of them. Well, sister, I was on the front eight days and nights, one day seemed like a year to me, but was so lucky and didn't get hurt. I saw some sights. I can't tell you anything about it as our letters are all censored yet. So I will tell you all about it when I come home. I am cook now and I like the job fine, plenty to eat and you know that suits me first-rate. I would have liked to been at home when you butchered but expect to be there next time. Well, Lucy, how long is Andy Singer and family going to stay? Tell Andy that I would liked to have been there in hunting season and showed him how to shoot rabbits. Are you having any good times this fall? Hope you are but wouldn't wonder it pretty dull. Has there been any boys discharged since the war is over and sent home? I haven't seen any Noble county boys yet, but am looking for some every day. Well, I am mailing father a German helmet and what do you think of it? Well, I don't know nothing to write that would interest you. So I'll close, don't know when I will get to see you. Some say we will be sent home in February but I don't know. Hope to see you any how by Easter. Well, write me in the near future. With best wishes to you and all. Your soldier brother, Pvt. Francis A. SORG Battery D, 302nd Field Artillery American E.F.In 1930, Francis A. and Marie Sorg lived on the farm belonging to Francis' widowed father, Cain Sorg.
