Phillips Lee Goldsborough Jr., son of
former governor of Maryland, who is serv-
ing in the United States Ambulance Corps
in France, has written the following IN
teresting letter to his father under date
of June 20.
'"The rumor that | told you of in my
last letter is oming true. We are chang
ing fronts once more | am writing YOU
this letter en- route.
I'VE have been travelling in our ainbu-
lance for the past three days and are now
living in little French~village awaiting
orders to get going again. Oh course we
do not now where our final destination
will be, and | cam even tell you where
think it will be- for If j did 1t would be
censored.
at is pretty nice travelling along this
way, for we get a chance to see great
deal of the country. At night we sleep IN
our ambulance, usually parking In some
fairly large town. The night before last
we stopped in quite prominent town, and
i am sure you would know 1T II could tel
YOU the name There is a very beautiful
old cathedral there that was built In 1900.
1t is completely done in gray stone and
brick-no wood about the entire building.
There are great many very interesting
y
very much looking at them. 1t has been
hit by the Bochcs in an air raid. | think
il must be one of the few that are any
where near the front that has not been
struck During our trip we passed through
the front where the Americans have been
doing some very fierce fighting OF late.
We saw a great many marines, so you
must know the place, rs It has been Tea
tured In the newspapers great deal In
the past few weeks.
Yesterday afternoon the French
brought 500 Bochc prisoners through the
village, where we are now stopping They
had Just been captured, and IT surely was
c1ite a sight to see them | do not believe
that have ever seen such a hungry look
ingfOt of men in my life. Lots OF them were
very young not day over Il. They
were all gaunt and hollowlooklng Just
rs though they had not had a real good
meal in long time / surely could not
help but feel very sorry for them The
French civilians surely seem to treat
them very well, for | did not hear a single
person make nasty remark TO them.
From reports | should say it is evidently
quite the other way in Germany
The mails are very irregular, and
have not had letter from home for some
time. In all probability a great many Will
arrive at once.
Il am feeling fine. and am getting along
all right IN every way
