an outpost about 200 yards in front
Of the first line trenches. I will never
forget the experience, though probably
II was not half as bad as you might
picture in the States. The only sleep
that We had was a few hours during
the day and then at times we were
awakened by the whizzing Of shells
over our heads and by the battles in
the air. The boys were all In excellent
spirits and don't believe there was a
night that any one of them would not
have volunteered to 80 over to the Huns
trenches with me-
