a patrol out and come by this out
me we sure give them all we have,
and we have all we need, and can
sure give them a good fight. l will
never forget the last night at the
front on outpost. / sure believe
there was Boche patrol passed
right in front of my outpost, and
the only thing that saved them was
that We were told that we were
going to have a patrol out and that
they were going to come in on my
outpost, co we let them go by, think
ing 1t was a U. S. patrol, and after
we were told that our patrol was in,
and came in on some other post,
they were lost out this way and
did not come in where they were
going to. / suppose you do not
know what a patrol is. Well it is
Ia fine thing to have at night, and
they sure do have some time. A
patrol is party Of men who patrol
No Mans Land az night. There
are two kinds, a fighting patrol and
one out for information. Sometimes
they go away over to the Boche
trenches to see what they are doing
and sometimes they run into
Boche patrol, and believe me there
lis something doing then. 1t is
fight and fight it out in No Mans
Land. We had a patrol run into a
Boche patrol one night and they
Iall came back o. X. Patroling is
a great game and believe me it
takes a good one that will not get
lost, as il is all barb wire and so
dark you can't see your hand in
front of you. 1t is light sometimes
and that is when a patrol runs in
front of an outpost, and that kind
of light is not much good, for
when this light is sent up from
this outpost they are getting ready
to open up on them, so when the
lights go up they must get down and
stay there until the libht goes out,
and then they get up and go on.
But it is not long before another
light is sent up, so No Mans Land
looks like a Fourth of July night,
lights going up all the time. Well
can't think of much more this
time, so will close, asking you to
thank father for the smoking he
sent me, and 1 will write the folks
soon. With love and kisses,
Your brother,
LAWRENCE RIGGS.

Dear Sister:
Received your most loving letter
and ! sure am going to try and
write few lines today. Well l am
all o. X. and hope you are all the
same. France is just the same old
place, nothing going on but the big
game, and it sure is a game. We
have been in the trenches two times
and at present we are back resting.
The trenches we were in are not
much good. They are all mud and
water, and by the looks of things
they will stay that way for some
time, as we are not having much
good weather and it looks as if
it is never going to stop raining,
and it is hard to see the sun much,
but we are all looking for summer
to come soon. Believe ms when we
were up this last time it sure was
not the best place to be, as the
nights were long and cold and its
at night we are all out looking for
the Boches to try and come over
and get us. But we were lucky
as they never did try to come over
where we were, and we have a
lucky company, as we have not losr
la man and we have been where the
rest have too. Well l am going to
tell you where i was and of my
doings when at the front. l was out
on outpost, which is post running
out into No Mans Land, and on
this post we have six men and one
corporal in. charge. Believe me /
sure was some bug, as l was the
man in charge. l must tell you the
reason for having an outpost like
this. The men stay there all night,
looking after what is going on in
front of our wire and trying to get
all the information they can of what
the Boches are doing out in No
Mans Land. Sometimes they have
