From Buford Collicutt.

Mr. and Mrs Charles Collicutt received the
following letter from their nephew Buford Col
licutt written December Is, at Galveston, Tex
I haven't written to you for some
but we have just arrived in the states
today after a long cruise all over the
world. Received some mail today, the
first since [ left San Francisco. Every
body is sure rejoicing about the war
being over and would have loved to
have been in the states to celebrate
myself. We were in Antofagasta, Chill,
when we got a wireless that war was
over and it surely sounded good.
We have been having bad luck on
board ship the last month. We lost one
man at Maxillones, South America, and
two more were lost over board in a bad
storm. We had lots of engine trouble
at sea and ran on the rocks once so l
guess we had our share. 1t is surely
fine to be back in a civilized country
again. think we will be here for
some time and again we might go
around to the east coast again.
Have been in China, Japan, Philli-
pines, Australia, South America, Pana-
ma and West Indies. Crossed the
Equator twice and came through the
Panama canal twice. l don't know
how long 1 will be in the navy but l
Joined for duration of war so I may
get my discharge soon. Well didn't
finish this yesterday so will finish today
We got our orders last night to dis
charge our cargo of nitrate here and
take on cargo of cotton which is to go
to Liverpool, England, SO it will be
some time before l can get out. We
will be here about a month so l hope
can hear from you, all before we leave
here. We have a real good crew On

SOLDIERS LETTERS
From Lieut.. Homer Ludden.

The following letter was received by G.
Leroy Winn from his friend Homer Ludden,
who is with the U. S. army in France:
I have had your letter of Oct. 10 and
IA for quite few days but you know
how it is
Yes l got over my gas attack alright.
Once in awhile my eyes still bother a
little but nothing to speak of. I'll bet
that telegram that I was severely
wounded caused some excitement.
Mother got the dates mixed up and
thought 1 had been picked off again.
If 1 was severely wounded then, I'd
take slight one every week or so.
[ haven't seen Viv yet but he is not
so very far from me now. He is in a
town near Bar le Due which is only a
few miles southeast of this.
I got letter from Coady a few days
ago. He was in England when he
wrote it so I suppose he'll be going
home pretty soon. I was through
there on my way over here but didn't
stay long.
I didn't find the little souvenir I was
going to send you but | have mailed
you Boche helmet. hope you get it.
I am sending you copy Of writeup
our division got in the N. Y. Herald
My regiment has been in the artillery
brigade of that division ever since we
joined it in Alsace the 5th of July.
In Alsace [ was with one of our batter
les for few days out in an observation
post. From that O. P. could see the
City of Mulhouse.
From Alsace we moved to the Cha
teau Thierry sector and it was our
division that did all the hard work
then and took Fismes. It was right
near Fismes that was gassed.
We were in the city of Chateau
Thierry for two days, and through
Belleau Woods and Bouresches where
the Marines did their work. Our
doughboys have seen more hard fight
ing than the Marines, though.
While was at the hospital, our divi-
sion took Juvigny and then went in at
Verdun and in the Argonne. 1t was in
the latter place that l rejoined my regi-
ment, near Montfaucon. The helmet |
sent you came from near there.
When the last drive started, our
brigade gave them kick off and fired
until we were out of range and then
waited orders to move to the rear. It
was in the Bots de Bantheville that the
sniper shot at me.
We are now waiting for orders to
move again. We hope to a sea port.
The brigade is not with the 32nd now.
