Captain/Major Harold Ward Correspondence, item 162

• December 11, 2018 20:21:45 Thomas A. Lingner

  Can anyone believe that Germany will offer

  peace on terms acceptable to the majority

  she has still a huge fighting machine, she

  holds huge tracts of allied countries

  and although she has completely failed

  in her objective her army is still a long way

  from the Rhine. Russia may possibly

  make a big offensive operation + big

  pushes may be made by the French +

  English but this will take time. Still

  the year is young yet and is big with

  possibilities. The unexpected still happens

  in war + possibly relying on this we

  are optimistic. I have heard much talk

  about the end of the war but the

  arguments are not convincing as they are

  often the same as we heard in the first

  few weeks of the war. All my men write

  home + say "it will soon be over" even if they

  have not seen or heard any news for

  weeks. Being out here those people may look

  upon them as good judges although they

  know less of the front than they would do

  were they at home
