we should worry. for l expect to get to
England soon. and believe me that be-
tween Turkish baths. autos, theaters and
real beds. shall have some time.
''Our battery has had no real fighting
for some time. but we keep life from
being too monotonous by letting loose a
bit mornings or evenings. For the last
few days the Germans have been throw
ing over quite a few shells. However.
they don't worry us much. except that
they occasionally disturb us while we are
cooking meals. making IL more expedient
for US to postpone our meal until they
finish their date.
I'VE are getting the trenches fixed up
30 comfortable that we should about as
soon be in them as out. The last time
we were in, the Germans blew in the
parapet In front of our dugout. That
night we got even with them by turning
the guns into their working party which
they had out fixing up their barb wire,
and silenced one OF their machine guns.
