LETTER FROM FRANCE BY A BROOKS BOY.
Somewhere in France, Sept. 80, 1918.
Dear Sister: Will write you few lines
as we are having sort of rest now. We
went cover the Top" in the front wave
and went through Jerry for about eight
kilometers and took a lot of prisoners.
We went through about four lines of his
defenses, trenches, and dug and out
in the open fighting. They put up pretty
good fight with machine guns. There
were times when we were down on the
ground and they were just moving the
grass all round us. About noon there
were some nests just over the top of the
hill that we're making us some trouble
and we sent our automatic machine gun
squad up to try and get them. We Just
got over the cant of the hill, could not
see where they were but opened up IN the
general direction the bullets were coming
from, to try and keep him down. v hen
we did we drew the fire from battery OF
field artillery Just across the valley and
they dropped tarrage on US. Almost
every shell was covering US with dirt and
rocks, and then one struck within three
feet of my head. A fragment stove in
my helmet and cut my head quite bit
Another small piece went through my
cheek and cut out three of my teeth
Quite number of small pieces hit me IN
the face and ear but did not get any IN
my eyes. am back in hospital feeling
fine, and will be as good as new as soon
as l get my teeth fixed. l can't hear
much in one ear but think that is only
temporary. We had been up at the front
about month and wont have to 60 up
again for some time. Now don't worry
for am O. X. With Love,
Private Earle Hamm, Co. L., 80 u. S.
