ton with you. Although | have had
many interesting and beneficial exper.
fences since joining the army, would
be glad to spend the summer on Mack.
mac Island. went into Camp Devens,
Mass, last March. After spending two
months there l went to Camp Mills on
Long Island where l was transferred
into Machine Gun Co. Within a week
we were on our way across the Atlantic;
the weather was fine and we made the
trip in seven days.
Since being over here | have had
experiences that will not be forgotten
but cannot write about them in detail
as you know. German planes are seen
or heard flying over us every day.
They are easily recognized by the hum
of the engine. 1t is quite interesting
to watch the bursting of the anti-aircrafi
gun shells. Generally the machine is
so high that we cannot see it with the
naked eye..
My address is Machine Gun Co., 59th
Infantry, American E. F.
Everything is going as well as can be
expected and we have good reason to
believe that everything will come out
we'll in the end.
Very sincerely yours,
