! Perhaps you really never expected
to hear any more about THE SUN To-
bacco Fund to which you donated some
months ago, ''. ror one am benefit
ing by your Kindness. as the carton OF
cigarettes which were issued to me last
evening contained your card. A little
over a year ago l subscribed to the
fund. but little did think that few
months later would find me one OF the
boys over there
Being connected with the s. o. S.
naturally my experiences have moi
been of thrilling nature, and
missed all the excitement which the
boys in the front line trenches had, but
III wouldn't have missed being over
here for the world However, It is al
over now and our thoughts are turned
lhomeward | want TO thank you for
the cigarettes and / want TO thank
THE sun. None OF the fighting mer
or any OF US who were needed bu
didn't get n chance TO fight will ever
forget either"
