army and the gunboat fleet were try
ing to capture Fort Fisher. The only
presents we received. and they came
fast and furious. were solid shot and
shell from the guns of the enemy. But
this didn't destroy our sense Of humor.
The boys would write on each solid
shot or shell before placing it in the
gun, Presented by and add the name
of the vessel from which it happened
to be fired. Mighty few hurled at the
fort that day lacked this Christmas
greeting. All the gunners caught the
spirit Of the grim jest. for the fighting
line is no place for serious faces.
despite the excitement of the fierce
combat we managed to have the mast
heads Of all the ships trimmed with
Christmas green's, even though the
sailors had to risk their lives In going
ashore to get them, and you may be
assured the sentiment Of the day was
not wasted"
