NEIL STEVENS WRITES AGAIN
From Somewhere-In France.
August 9th, 1917.
Dear Mumsie & Dad:

Dear Mumsie & Dad:
l am now nearer the front and far
Their from home by fifty miles, but
strange to say, nothing would indi
cate my proximity to the trenches
except the uniformed men present.
We left our camp at Sandricourt
early on Friday morning (forty- one
of us) and left Paris early Sunday
morning for our present location
which / am not permitted to disclose
Section No. 60 which left Sandricourt
a few days ahead of us, was COM
posed mostly Of boys who came on
the Chicago. Yet during our stay in
Sandricourt we got quite well ac-
quainted with many of them. Our
section has been assigned small Fiat
cars and very good ones and now all
to be done is to wait for orders to go
to the front, for the work for which
/ volunteered.
The exact date of our departure
or destination is not known, but it
will no doubt be to quiet part of
the line and | hope we shall see it
very shortly. There is little proba-
bility of working twenty-four hours
or more at a time for several months
or until we get more experience.
am therefore looking forward to lit
tie excitement in the near future.
Some Experience.
At our hotel in Paris where all the
A. r. C. men on furlough take their
meals / heard some very interesting
accounts of experiences in driving
ambulances in Northern France es-
pecially in Flanders. One fellows
account was more like story than
actual experience | think. He told Of
sliding down muddy hill with wheels
locked every second taking him near
er to the spot where the Germans
were placing shells. Luckily for him
the next shell lit about one hundred
feet back and he escaped uninjured.
Many have narrow escapes but very
few of the Red Cross men have been
injured. The older sections are get
ting the brunt of the work, being
sent to the worst sectors. Of course,
we all desire action as soon as pos
Sible.
At present we are within a few
miles of the trenches and at one of
the many automobile Parcs. These
Parcs as they are called are auto
mobile centers for military purposes.
And in addition to ambulances there
are big trucks and staff cars, here
now. There is another Pare to our
left and right about fifteen miles
away
Airplanes Bomb City.
The city near us is shelled occa-
sionally by the Germans but we have
been here too short a time to wit
ness an attack Most of the damage
has been done by bombs dropped from
aeroplanes. We are told they invari-
ably fly over the city every clear
night and wake the few inhabitants
left with their dangerous fre-crack-
ers. Curiously they have not touched
the Parcs for fear the French will re-
taliate by paying visits to similar
bases behind their lines. Last night
was cloudy but tonight | expect to
be awakened by the noise of explod-
ing bombs, as | doubt if anything |
could have Weakened me last night /
as / was so tired after the ride and |
loss of sleep the night previous.
A Hard Trip.
While we did not leave Paris until !
