| Abstract | On July 16, 1917, thirty-nine year old Wisconsin native August Groeschel boarded a ship in Seattle on his way to Yokohama, Japan. There he was to apply his expertise as a maltster and an engineer at the Kirin Brewing Company. This article includes excerpts of his letters home that describe the "frustrations and the satisfactions of doing the most familiar work he knew in the most unfamiliar place he had ever been." Despite successes, his ailing health resulted in his death, and the maltster from Kewaskum, Wisconsin, was buried in the Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery on December 11, 1918. |
