August a, 1918.
Dear Mother:-
Short and sweet-that's the
matter just now. Letter writing
in bed is hard work, and l con-
fess it early in the letter so that
you wont be at all surprised at
a sudden ending.
The fact that l am setting up
appraises you Of the fact that
| am getting on. The slang ex-
preston Everything is joke"
Just about covers the situation.
Could you see my appetite you
would cease to wonder.
No doubt, you are impatiently
waiting for me to describe how
| came to be "cited" by the Hun
artillery. Later on when there is
more time | shall embellish the
tale and make it more interest
ing, at any rate it happened in
this wise:
forgot to say that there is a
war on-at least there was one
started-haven't heard how it
came ont, but know it receiv-
ed a big start one morning, viz:
July 18th, that was the day the
Allies big push started. This lit
tie Buddie was there at the
start Of it, too.
We moved into position one
evening. and sat down in a Sc
ries of shell holes to wait for
zero hour. Rain had soaked US
to the skin and we had visions
of a muddy field, but about 3 A.
NJ. the skies cleared and we
knew that the game couldn't be
called on account of wet grounds,
After having established our
selves in the above mentioned
shell holes we had nothing to do
but wait.
Our barrage came laundering
down precisely at 4:35 and it
did Just what we had prayed it
would, caught the Hun asleep.
There was no preparation at all,
simply an intense barrage laid
down Gnd we started over. The
element Of surprise proved to be
our best trump and we went for
ward steadily all day. Between
eight and ten kilometers were
taken right off the bat, and
more ground was gained the
next.
A description of what ! saw.
how | felt, thought and did
would properly be included here,
but that would take too long,
and besides l want to save some
thing interesting for later let
ters, So I'll just omit what l
ought to say and 90 on about
my knitting.
As l was saying we dumped

ed under the protection Of con-
siderable hardware. Our batter
les were certainly issuing some
hot stuff that morning. Fritz
got the wind up and ran. How.
ever, he left behind few ma
chine gun nests that had to be
reduced.
We had been going some time;
in fact, it was some four hours
afterwards when we came to a
ravine and the company had con-
siderable difficulty in getting
through, and when gained the
other side and was standing at
the edge, just then something
went off behind me, over my
left shoulder. Right away l tum-
