Charles w. Russell of Johnston
station returned to his ship this aft
Tough at his home here. Russell has
been sailing between France and
New York and says that he has met
only one Plainville boy on all his
trips and that was William Kava-
naugh who was sent to Camp Devens
about six months ago. Russell says
that he met Kavanaugh just as he
was coming off a ship at one of the
leading ports Of France.
Russell said that the last trip to
France and back was made without
an incident. His ship waited in
France for q few days and returned
to New York with a number Of
wounded soldiers. Among them were
four New Britain boys. The major
ity of the wounded men were from
the western section of the country.
Russell says that on his return to
France he will be stationed at a hos
pital which is located between Paris
and the fighting line. The hospital
the local boy with 10 other sailors
will probably be assigned to hospital
work there.
Russell received a 22-day furlough
and was about six days on his re-
turn trip from France and will prob
ably be the same time going back.

Many of the townspeople will be
glad to hear of safe arrival OF the

were stationed at Camp Devens. The

until they had heard their new ad-
dress. This morning most all the
parents of the boys who sailed for
Italy had received cards from the
boys.
Among the Plainville boys who left
with this division were John Pettin-
tao, Thomas Prior, Earle Smith and
Daniel Tedesco.
