BELONGS TO COMPANY
COMPOSED OF BIG MEN

Lead. S. d. June 10.7~A machine gun
company of which William Dunn, a
Lead boy, is a member, is expected
to make an unusual record when it gets
to France and participates in the fight
Ing with the Germans. All the men
in the company are giants in size.
Dunn is a six -footer. He writes in
part to the home folks:
II am now in the machine gun COM
pany OF the Three Hundred Fifty-fifth
infantry. There are 170 men in our
company-al big men. Twelve are
taller than ], so you know what they
are. We don't have to carry a gun on
u shoulder or stand guard when in
action. The idea is fine-move the gun,
reset as quickly as possible. for four
minutes after a machine gan fires the
enemy artillery shells are dropping
there, SO we must make it snappy.
BY the time you get his l will prob
ably be on my way to sunny France.
