Peberdy was shell shocked at the battle of Chateau-Thierry and sent to Base Hospital No. 7, at Tours, France, where he remained five weeks, after which he was sent to a casual company and then transferred to the American P. O., 784, where he is now." The article includes the letter George wrote to his father, for father's day. A small article follows, alerting the public that Meyer Pressman, Jr., of 150 East Haines Street, was wounded in action." The articles are accompanied by a photograph of George H. Peberdy.
