MAN WHO TOOK
OLD GLORY OVER
WANTS TOBACCO
Gunner Clancy, Buried Alive
in Charge, Writes For
American Smokes

! Gunner william C. Clancy. the
Texas boy who carried the Stars and
Stripes "over the top" in that terrific
battle at vimy Ridge, has a surprise
in store for him. Gunner Clancy has
written to this country asking for a
comfort package containing some
American tobacco and he will get 1t,
but in addition to his, he will re-
ceive a handsome gold medal from
the U. S. Army and Navy Bazaar. The
comfort packages have already been
sent. This boy, who carried Old Glory
and was wounded in doing so, is now
convalescing at II Lindsay avenue,
High Wycombe, Bucks, England.
In a letter dated September %,
Gunner Clancy says:
My Dear Friends:
IT take pleasure as we'll as liberty
in writing these few lines to let you
kind people know what circumstan-
ces l am in. l am very glad TO ell
YOU people that 1 am the individual
who carried the Stars and Stripes
over the top at Vimy Ridge, April 8,
1917, and 1 was buried alive later in
the day.
II have been in this world war for
n period of two years and a few
months-wounded on three occasions
and of course, 1 shed blood each
time. am glad offered my services
for the cause of humanity.
E,.s -,
writes to me-only my father and !
have not heard from him for a mat
ter of five months. He wrote to me
about the deed 1 performed at Vimy
Ridge and sent me a picture which
appeared in all of the papers
throughout the United States. I
would venture, to say you might have
seen it.
LAS I am going to ask a favor of
you, I hope it will be granted, and
that is IL you please. Now, could you
or would you send me a Field Conn
fort Box? l feel sure 1 would be
pleased as I have not tasted Ameri-
can cigarets or tobacco for many a
day. 1t would be a good comfort to
me, | assure you.
Just picture it to yourself. / have
been over in France lighting and now
i am in England after recovering
from being buried alive. When 1 saw
the picture of the comfort box.
longed for one. do long and wish
1 had one. But the money which re-
ceive will not keep me in wants and
desires. assure you that my wants
are not many as 1 have had SOL
dier's life in He'll for my time in this
war, but 1 would want an American
Soldiers Comfort Box If 1 could be
given one.
My pay, my friends, is only one
shilling per day (25c). AS stuff costs
some over here, it will not enable me
to get what want. Do you not think
! can have one? 1 will be ever so
much obliged.
II beg to remain,
Very truly yours,
Gunner William G. CLANCY"
