Letters From
Local
Letter from George Kcmeny

oCssNA " Y SC ntAlChy
Dear Paul.
Well, I am glad the war is over.
"Ffnis la guerre." as the French say.
Suite parte lie America, as we
tell them. I do not know whether the
people back home know about the
%sojourns of the 18th Division, but be-
lieve me. we saw our share OF action
If n of the A. p. T. did. When I
was with the supply train / received
my first taste OF 1t down in Alsace
Lorraine during the Chateau Thierry
drive, which although so called, ex-
tended all along the line. and La
Chapel down in Alsace was one end
of 1t. The other end was Chateau
Thierry. I was taken sick on our
journey from hat front to the Toul
sector and when I returned to the
division, which was in the st. Mihiel
salient. 1 Joined the c~asuals and they
sent a gang of us out to bury the
dead. This was not the most enviable
job under shell fire but I lived
through 1t and the rest of the fight
ing.
After we had rendered the boche
harmless in Thiercourt and st. Mihiel
we travelled into the Argonne sector
on the Verdun front. The most ter
here and believe me, we were in Ii
and say boy. that campaign was
enough to make q preacher tough.
CootieSi We used to pick them off
and swap one big one for two little
ones.
/ was a runner for headquarters up
there and besides a continual rain OF
shells, bombs, shrapnel and the like,
1t rained water most of the time and
they gave us boots and a gat. One
day / was returning from q little
town where / delivered a message
and I met a detail of some boogie
brethren armed with picks and SHOW
els with which to repair roads which
Jerry had bombed the evening before.
A few whizz bangs stirred the air up
the inc a ways where they were 60
ing to do the work and after deliber-
alton they decided to put 1t off until
the morrow, when the shells might
not be falling so thickly.
We are back where we see civilians
again in a nice little city and I have
a nice little job here at headquarters
with no kick coming.
They have opened Monte Carlo in
the province of Monaco in Southern
France to the A. r. f. for a recrea-
ton ground and If my funds hold out
I may have an opportunity to spend
La few days there. But say, my pray
ers are for the day to come when 1t
will be homeward bound and when /
will be able to slip into a civilian suit
again and get to work.
Your brother,
GEORGE.
