Bisbee daily review., 1918-11-17
Young Artillery Man FOm
 Here Names Gun "Bisbee"

George Rockhill, proprietor of the Tombstone stage line. has received an interesting letter from Glenn Allen. who formerly drove the stage from here to Tombstone and also worked at one time for the Cochise Motor company. but who is now with the 112th Ambulance corps, 103d Sanitary train, in France.
 The letter is written on the back of a printed form used by the Ger mans in recommending soldiers for the iron cross. The top Of the paper bears a representation of the iron cross, with a crown. the letter w in the center and 1914 at the bottom. Then comes the wording of the oer- tificate printed in Germany with space left for the filling of the name Of the soldier to be filled in and the reason why he has been recommend- ed for bravery in acts against the enemy.
 The letter is of considerable inter est to the citizens of the Warren dis trict, as it contains news about a number of boys from this district as well as boys from Tombstone and Douglas. The most interesting part of the letter is mention of the fact that Cole Noel. who was working in Bisbee at the time he was called and who was assigned to the 340th Field artillery, was in charge of one of the big guns in a string of battles and had christened his gun "Bisbee" He had the name painted on both sides of the barrel and was doing his best to make her keep up the reputation of the camp that she was named after.
 On the printed side of the sheet Allen wrote: As near as can make out this thing is a diploma that goes with an iron cross when a German soldier earns it, but l don't think he has the chance to get them now, for the Tanks sure give them hell. I think they have stopped giving them out since we caine over Say, we don't fool over here. I am now in an office that German officers left. and maybe you think I am not living like king. Real beds, dininigrOom and a plan. This room for my office Some class, Heck.
 "On a German soldiers belt they have on it: 'Gott Nit Uns,' and every thing they have has the black cross you see on the head of this paper"
 The letter follows.
 Somewhere in France,
 October 19, 1918. Dear Friend Rockhill.
 Well, George, I thought l would write you a few lines to let you know am stil alive and feeling my best. Don't know how this good. old Amer ican ink is going to work on (Hun) paper, but guess it will have to do for there is no '. NJ. C. A or Red Cross outfit here. We are too close to the front door for them and, besides, there are too many of the Huns 6-inch and 10-inch shells hitting the town. They throw them over every few minutes. I am now in a town that the Huns held for over four years and were run out by the Tanks We have our advance dressing station here. and the nice part of it is that the Bisbee boys and Tombstone boys and also the Douglas boys are just a few min utes' walk from where we are sta toned. I see them every day and it sure makes me feel like home again. was talking to Noel from Tombstone today and also saw him send i few of their shells over to Fritz. Tom Doyle is just a few minutes walk from him. I tried to get over to see him, but could not make it, for Fritz was sending over gas and I did not want to take the chance for I was gassed once and do not want to run
