and feeling fine though l have little
cold. Hope this letter will find you
all well. We are still laying around
doing nothing but sleep and eat and
hike little every day SO we won't
get lazy.
We sure have had some exciting
trip as far as we have gone, but ex-
pect more than we have had before
we get back to the good old .. S. A.
again. The night we were torpedoed
we landed in Ireland on a destroyer.
That was our first experience of war.
We never knew what war was, but
we do now. We sure were we'll taken
care of by the British soldiers that
were there. Everything | had is down
at the bottom of the Irish sea. We
were issued a hat, underwear and
socks today.
You ought to see us. Most Of us
are dressed in British uniforms with
brass buttons. | have got the sweater
| got Christmas when | was i'll Waco,
as | had that on but my other two
sweaters went down to the bottom
We are all thankful that it was our
clothes instead of ourselves God did
protect us boys, am sure.
The other day they marched us all
down town, took us to show, and
yesterday they loaded us all on train
and we went to another city not far
from here. We went to another show
which was given for the survivors OF
the Tuscania All the boys from Bar
abOO that were on board are safe and
we'll We sure are seeing some beau
tiful things-things l used to study
in school, but never thought I'd see
with my own ey IS.
We have had some hard times, but
we do not care for anything like that
at all. because we are doing it for Oul
country and for our dear folks al
home.
You people there don't know what
hard times are wish you could see
the people over here. Women are do
ing all the work, even working in the
railroad yards. There are very few
men around here, and those are too
old and not fit for service. Hope
that the good old United States vii
never be that way.
We'll, mother, news is scarce. d.
not worry about me because we arr
all happy just as we were at home
in a way. because we have to maxi
the best of it. Do not know how Ion;
we will be here, as some of the boy
have the humps. Tell everybod.
hello, and little Lester, tell him he'll
be able to lick me when I come back
Suppose he's getting tall and fat.
