CONTINUED from Yesterday,

In the darkness .;S5-y lost theff
bearings and crawled toward the Eng
fish trenches. They reached the barbed
wire and were suddenly challenged by
our sentry. Being too drunk to realize
that the challenge was in English, the
captain refused to crawl back. Finally
the unteroffizier convinced his superior
that they were In front of the English
wire. Realizing this too late. the cap.
tain drew his revolver and with a NUT
tered curse fired .blindly toward our
trench. His bullet no doubt killed our
captain.
Then the bomb came over and there
he was, dying-and good job too, we
thought. The captain dead? Well, his
m; !. wouldn't weep at the news.
Without giving us any further infor-
nation the unteroffiZier died.
We searched the bodies ! identifi-
cation disks but they had :. Fl every
thing behind before starting or their
foolhardy errand.
Next afternoon we buried them in
our little cemetery apart freq the
graves of the Tommies. If yo's ever

Dear Mother:
| write to say your son is over
here, l think, fixing to run off with
one of the French ladies They
come into camp here selling fruits.
Our conversations get very much
messed up. Making change in
money goes little slow; I bavn't
learned much about counting it yet,
| don't think it is going to be hard.
Main trouble is going to be in hay
ing it. We are due a pay day now.
| am not sure if we will get it here,
or when we arrive at our permanent
camp. We are now near Bordeaux
but will move to | don't no where
soon. Tits is indeed beautiful
pl: ce, great variety of fruits and
veg etables. And vegetation is far
ahead of cur county. Meadows
moved in some places, potatoes in
bloom, the land around here seems
to be very fertile. Vineyards in t
directions; came by some beautiful
towns and country homes on or
way up the river. Had a few miles
of night hiking after landing, SEEM !;
ed good to be on land again. am
feeling like 2 two year old this
morning; was just a little un#ell
when l turned in last night, caused
from eating too much trash yester-
day, but it was all good and | was
hungry and couldn't make myself
ring off when | should have.
DON'T attempt to send me any,
thing but first class mail, but send
plenty of that. Been nearly three
weeks now since | have had a line
from Highland. l. is nearly din
ner time here now. Guess you all
ale eating breakfast. 1t was cool
here this morning early, had big
rain last night. Hoover is still
with me. All the boys seem to
like it here fine. | wish could go
along and write as | please but not
81 now. The buildings here are
mostly low, and we see some very
interesting things. | would like to
be free to 81 about as please by
my lonesome. Hoping to hear from
you all soon, and that you are as
we'll and happy as l am, and with
a half a chance, | expect. to stay
that way, Love to all,
