with all those shells bursting all around them, the
noise deafening found dozen of them sitting
the fire-step arguing about blackberry pies Can you
imagine that? And | think it is typical of the Yank that
he does act that way when the danger is the worst"
Of course, the dozen were American soldiers. This
incident is told by lieutenant in letter home. I'm
doubtedy they hadn't seen blackberry pie since they
left the United States But they probably had decided
views on the subject There may have been
two Yanks in the group who "agin" that particular
variety Of pie.
1t isn't and never was in Frtz's power to spoil good
American argument any subject whatever When the
time for those boys to leave the frestep and go
out after Germans, they went in regular American fash

interest to the job in hand and did it.
