err Three Brothers in
Same Camp, They Write

Out on the firing line, with shells
bursting all about and men dying, two
Keokuk boys met, clasped hands ana
exchanged a few words OF happy
greeting the other day, in mont
line trench in France.
They were James Semones and
Francis Weber.
Semones in letter home to his
mother, Mrs. Robert Semones, SIG
South Fifth street, tells of the meet
ing of the south side" boy and the
north side" boy. 1t was their first
meeting in months. Weber formerly
lived at s04 Grand avenue.
Keokuk boys are not so far apart
in France that they do not get to see
one another now and then, the letter
OF Semones would indicate.
Three Brothers Together.
Three brothers, Clyde, James and
Floyd Semones, went to France to-
gether in the rainbow division Two
OF the boys, James and Floyd, are still
stationed in the same company, while
Clyde is in the same camp.
The brothers get together every
now and then for visit.
The Semones brothers have all
been in the trenches twice, and are
now resting back of the lines.
Floyd, the youngest brother, will
not be twenty years Of age until
August.
Saw Border Service.
The two older boys. James and
Clyde, saw service on the Mexican
border in 1916. They were called to
report again March g. 1917. Floyd
enlisted at the same time and was
fortunate enough to get with the
other two in the rainbow division.
They made the trip to France in the
same company. ALI thrae men en-
listed.
The following letters were written
by James and Clyde Semones to their
mother after they had left the
trenches for the second time.
