ing: Somewhere in France.
Editor Star: You will no doubt be
surprised to hear from me at this
time and especially from here. At
last we are in France, after almost
giving up hope.
"Sunny France" has proven to be a
"rainy France" since our arrival, but
we hope for better weather.
So far have not seen any of the
Ocala boys who preceded us at differ
ent times, and guess it may be some
time, before l do, If ever.
Our trip over was an ideal one and
every one landed in high spirits and
without many having been seasick.
Most of the men have no doubt
been up to the front by this time. AS
for myself, have been detached from
the old organization and at present
am billeted at a chateau with others
in the same boat as myself. 1t is a
beautiful place and although the raw
ages of war have caused it to be much
neglected, it is still stately old man.
