Note: The writer of the above is q
son of MIR. and Mis-. w. E. Driver OF
this city. He went with Canadian
troops to the battle front about two
years ago, and is about Is years of age.
Probably he was homesick when he
wrote this letter in April. as he missed
his birthday cake and dinings at home
with loved ones during April, as several
members of the family have birthdays
in that month. CASTOR ia making a
good soldier and writes a splendid let.

In the Field, April "a.
My Dear Mother-Will drop you o
line as | have been unable to do SO for
the past ten days. | suppose you see
IN the papers what we did for "Deai
Fritz on Vimy Ridge. You should
have seen that advance; human cannot
imagine the damage the artillery has
lone and is still doing without seeing
it.
First the artillery bombarded him fol
some little time, then over we went.
We were in his first line before he
knew W. were coming. AS we adj
vanced up the ridge the artillery
kept lifting and throwing the shells
farther back. Sometimes the smoke
cleared a little and one of "Fritz's"
machine guns would start up, get
about ten shots out and bingo, no ma
chine gun. Those shells simply caved
ten-foot trenches, hurled trees out of
the ground and left great Gaping
holes.
On n occasion a party of about 20
of us happened to get between Fritz"
and his lararge-(a lararge is where
he is Smelling US with all his guns con-
centrated on a certain point, which
happened to be on our first wave He
had snipers up there with both rifle
and machine gun. We were going up
the hill in the work; we bombed him
out of action OF that point. but only
four of us returned to the main body.
PRAISE NEGRO SOLDIER.
One of the ones to do the best work
was a great big black negro about six
feet 3 inches, as black as coal. He
joined us just seven days before the
scrap. OF curse we kicked at having
a negro with us; but gee, he was a
man. You know this is where you find
out what a man is. He bombed two of
Fritz machine guns out of action.
But. poor fellow, he didn't rejoin the
company with us. have learned since
that he was not very seriously wounded,
but is back in England. He was recon-
mended as deserving a medal for this
distinguished conduct, Icertainly hope
he gets it.
The Germans say now that they re.
because they had planned to.
Ha, ha. they launched three counter
attacks right on top of one another.
That doesn't say they retreated be-
cause they had planned to. Vimy
Ridge is full of deep dugouts and tun-
nels. They had planned to roost on
Ridge, but they were out of luck.
We are doing all of the roosting on old
Vimy that is necessary. This is the
bird time it has been re-captured. The
French got it first; the English second,
md the Canadians third.
Would have written sooner to hope
'ou have a nice birthday. but could not.
am thinking of you just the same.
lave thought of Dad, Marshall and
SIS, but | can send nothing. While
I'M about it. | hope Clarence and Theo-
lore have a nice time, as there is heavy
in sight, and may not be able
o write again soon. | certainly missed
ny birthday cake.
W. get a good many Yankee papers
Iow; everybody is sending them from
over the States.
| never saw such weather for April;
ain and snow all the time. We had at
east six inches on the tenth.
Well, will close now, as | must get
usy. Remember me to the kids.
