MILLICENT TEACHING FRENCH TO A CLASS OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS AT BASE HOSPITAL 27, ANGERS, FRANCE, 1918.

On balance, though, Millicent still felt good about the work she was doing and was glad to be part of the war effort. She wrote to Mabel, “I wish I could even in [a] thousand years tell you how great the experiences we’re having here are, but I can’t. There is one thing I can say. That is that the courage and sublime unselfishness of these everyday soldiers is the biggest thing in this world, and I know it. The American private is the man who should be honored and worked for with the last ounce of one’s strength. I for one intend to do it, although all I can do for them seems so insignificant.”8

There was another reason Millicent initially felt so satisfied with her life in France during the war: she was in love.
