Photographer Takes War Pictures

Mr.. and Mrs. Harley Bennett have
received the following letter from
their nephew, Corporal E. c. Savage,
Hq Co., 316 F. S. Bn., Camp Lewis,
Tacoma, Wash:
Dear Aunt and Uncle:
Pretty nice to be a photographer
sometimes! The battalion left this
morning for a two days hike. 1t was
raining when they left and has been
most all day. It is pretty chilly, too.
Do not envy the boys their trip in the
least Suppose | Will get mine some
time in the future. AS luck would
have it, today we had to look over
some things we have to make pictures
Of tomorrow
My line of work so far is very in
teresting. Suppose it will be more so
when we get cover there" We took
some official war pictures of a battle
staged here. 1t was some exciting.
Trench mortars, machine guns, auto
matte rifles, rifles, bombing guns, gre
nades, ETC., were used. No blank cart
ridges, but cold lead. We went over
with the first wave" Wish l was
cover there" to get some of the real
stuff We shot four hundred feet of
movies and eighteen stills.
The homing pigeon men are instruct
ing a few men from each battalion in
camp how to handle the pigeons. We
took a set of pictures showing how to
hold and release a pigeon. There were
seven pictures in the set.
Last weekend l spent in Seattle.
My pal, Davy; my Tacoma FRIEND
and myself went on the boat We
were invited to the home of a friend.
The trip up the sound is very beauti-
full. 1t may seem funny to you, but
had a slight touch of the blues going
over. My mind wandered back to the
excursions from Milwaukee to Muske
gan and Chicago.
Went to church Sunday morning.
I enjoyed the service the best of any
ever heard. 1t was on "The HerOines
of all rs-MothersY Rev Mat
thews certainly spoke we'll of the boys
in uniform and what he said about
mothers may be equalled, but | doubt
if it can be surpassed. He certainly
had fine delivery. The congregation
applauded four or five times-some-
thing I never saw in church before.
Handkerchiefs were used freely. Sun
day afternoon and evening we looked
the town over. Seattle and Tacoma
may be all right, but | do not like to
go UP hill half of the time or better.
Have had many long auto trips
around here. You know | always did
enjoy scenery, and this mountain seen
cry appeals to me.
There is a fine bunch Of fellows in
this company-some excitement going
on most of the time. We have lots OF
fun. The only regret is, we want to
move and get into it. One of the boys
received a letter today saying his
brother was seriously wounded.
Do not forget to write. Letters are
always welcomed. Will close, with
love to all.
Your nephew,
CORP. ERNEST c. SAVAGE.
