"Comfort Kits" for the Soldiers in World War I.

From the November 22, 2017, MidWeek  (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1917, 100 Years Ago.

""While Miss Eleanor Townsend of Sycamore was attending Wisconsin university the girls made 'comfort kits' and other articles and sent them with their names and the name of the university to the soldiers in France.

"A few days ago, Miss Townsend received from a soldier written in French politely thanking her and expressing appreciation for the gift.  The giver naturally feels gratified that it reached one for whom it was designed and that it was so much appreciated."
