FROM THE BOYS IN SERVICE
Recent Letters Descriptive of the Life of the Boys
in Army and Navy

A letter from Sergeant H. Ernest
Smith of Company A, 1O3d infantry,
American expeditionary force, adj
dressed to a member of the Manchester,
IN. II Mirror force, was published
recently in that paper. Sergt. Smith

Reformers He went from here to
Keene, n. H., and while there enlisted
under Captain Ellis. and went to the
Mexican border. He is half brother
of Cecil Morse. slater, of North Hins-
dale. He writes:
Several times | have heard indi-
rectly that you had written to me, but
| have not received those letters. and
really, Bill, we have had absolutely no
chance to write for nearly two months,
as they have been ducking us in and
out on about all the fronts in France.
We are not as yet real seasoned SOL
diers, but are lot nearer to it than
when we arrived home from the "Mexi-
can war. - Those were the happy DAYS.
We have had a few experiences
with Fritzie and, if am judge, he got
the worst of them. Our first encounter
with the Boehes was not so long ago,
about six days before the starting of
the big Allied show, in which we
played a small part.
. AT that time my platoon was hold
ing wonderful position on the front
line, and 'old Bill knew not where we
were. 1t was very hard to keep out of
sight of hostile aircraft through the
day, but this we succeeded in doing.
Each morning at daybreak we were
obliged to leave our position and drop
back about 30 yards into a wheat field,
where we had to lie for 10 hours. Just
imagine, 10 hours in a little hole in
the ground-and it was a case of stay
there too, and keep your head down.
well, this evidently had Fritz wor-
ried because his aircraft was not get
ting the much-wanted INFORMATION. For
the purpose of brea king our front line
the Boehes sent out a large patrol with
orders to continue until they came in
contact with us. This happened about
midnight and ten minutes before that
one of our patrols went out. Had it
not been for that patrol of ours, with
out doubt we would have been able
to bag their whole party. Our men
saw this party coming toward us and
thought it to be one of our patrols
coming home When they had advanced

ton they were challenged by one of
our sentinels. Instantly they dropped
on their bellies in the tall wheat. ex-
cept two of them. These two opened
fire on the spot where they thought
the voice came from. But they were
very poor marksmen.
''By this time things were well un-
der way, and lead and steel Jackets
were flying, most of them going toward
Berlin. This lasted but a very few
, minutes, and all that could be seen of
Fritz was his figure on the sky, going

less than IL dead, and L imagine we

and the worst of it all was that we
had to bury them. First we are sol
diers, then undertakers.

News that Private George Messer of
the l02d machine gun battalion was
slightly wounded while fighting with
the American troops in France is con
tanned in a letter received by his
mothg, Mrs. Mary Messer, yesterday.
Under date of Aug. he writes:
Am all right and feeling fine. We
are out of the trenches and drilling
now. II has been raining steadily for
about two weeks and everything seems
damp and cold. Mr. Houghton. the
minister (Rev r. M. Houghton), can
tell you where / am and about the
things | have been through in the last
two or three weeks as he was with the
infantry when they were fighting and
we were with them when they went
over the top.
! think il is a miracle that l did not
get hurt or killed because we were in
the middle of a barrage, lying in a
little ditch which was the bed of a
brook now dried up, and the big shells
and high explosives were dropping all
around us. small piece of shrapnel
hit me in the shoulder but l had the
wound dressed up at a Red Cross sta
tion instead of going TO the hospital.
Our division has been spoken of very
highly and our company was cited. Ii
seemed more like a nightmare than any
thing else.
We were in our dugouts when our in
fantry FIRST started over the top and
we grabbed our pistols and ran out as
we thought the Germans were attack
ing us, the front line trench running
through the town we were in part of
which was held by the Germans. The
American first wave advanced up the
side of sloping Hill which was planted
with wheat, and as we advanced the
Germans either threw up their hands
aud surrendered or else ran.
We were very kind to the German
prisoners at first. When the first bunch
surrendered they offered their watches
and cigarettes and very few of us had
the heart TO take them as some of the
prisoners were scared and crying be-
cause they thought we would kill them.
Everything is different now and there
are very few of the fellows who would
take prisoner The Germans game
seems to be to kill our men as long as
their ammunition lasts, or until we are
right ON top of them, and then TO come
out with their hands up, crying exam
Grad, word which we will not stand
for now.
