He embarked for France from Hoboken, New Jersey in early January 1918. The diary appears to include letters to his family and is missing many pages.

Many of the descriptions are graphic in nature. Betsinger survived the war and later moved to Monte Vista, Colorado, where he operated the Triangle Tourist Camp in the 1940s.
