place, no grass and as hot as the
Alamo on a Saturday afternoon. We
are in the ordance department. There
are about twenty-five thousand men
here, all tented. The nights are all
right and sleeping is the best thing
we do. This is what they call re
placement camp" l understand. We
stay here until needed some place
else. I hope we are needed soon.
Some of the fellows have been
here for eight and ten months. and
seem to have given up all hopes OF
getting back to Gods country. They
say, though. the mechanics are moved
out pretty fast from this camp. 49,.
We are 173 miles from Augusta,
Georgia. We are under quarantine,
and cannot leave our company street

and change my paper 80 that will
not miss an issue. for it Is like de-

comes in bringing THE BOURBON
NEWS. III am acting corporal,

oils celebrated my wedding by giving
a couple Of hundred Of us a trip to

another company. I don't like that
word casual very much. Well, guess
you will hear more from me later ON
