    HANSEN, FLOYD CHESTER, 1894-UNCERTAIN

    Floyd Chester Hansen was born in Holland in 1894, and attended Maple Street School through eighth grade. Possessed of an adventurous spirit, he left Holland in 1914 and went to sea as a cook aboard the USS Justin, and later, on the M/S Kronprince Gustav Adolf, one of the first ships to travel through the newly built Panama Canal. After his time at sea, Floyd traveled through the Midwest working as a cook until the outbreak of the war. He enlisted in June 1917 and became a cook with the 354th Ambulance Company at Fort Riley, Kan. He rose to the rank of mess sergeant for the entire company, but transferred to the 314th Sanitation Train as a stretcher-bearer to get to France. Sanitation Trains were the medics of the American Expeditionary Forces, gathering the wounded and stabilizing them at the front before they were sent to the rear. Attached to the 89th Division, the 314th Sanitation Train participated in the major United States battles on the Western Front.
    Floyd's letters home DEC cribe life stateside and on the western front, reflecting the DEC ire shared by many in the U.S. Army to get "over there" and participate in winning the war, as well as the tempered attitude they acquired as they experienced the war they had wanted to be a part of. Disembarking in France in early July, Floyd and the rest of the 314th Sanitary Train began additional training to prepare for moving up to the front, which began on Aug. 5 when the division occupied trenches north of Toul, a position on the St. Mihiel salient. Acclimation to trench warfare was swift as the German army sought to test the quality of these new troops.
    "The Boches come over to pay us a visit three or four times a day," Floyd wrote on Aug. 12, "and during the night he sticks around just about all the time, but we are getting used to it and when he gets too close we hike for our dugout but for myself I'd rather be in an air raid any day than a gas attack." Like many soldiers writing home, Floyd is understating here.
