Harold Knight Writes from France.

Leroy Soper has received letter
from France, written by Harold Knight,
who is in the hospital service in the
goth division, under date of June /.
Much of it is of personal nature, but
the following are some of the interest
ing paragraphs:
1t is funny more boys dom volun-
teer from there, as there are q whole
lot who are single and could just as well
help. We sure need them badly. In
all our attacks we are outnumbered by
the boche.
Me for n good long vacation after
this is over, but is this war ever going
to finish! 1t doesn t look very favora-
bic at the present time. We were ex-
pecting to go to rest camp, but the
drive is on again so it is no time to
think about rest.
Perhaps you would like to know my
work, but l can t tell you a whole lot,
only that we have been in action since
Feb. with no rest. My work is stretch
er bearer. 1t doesn t make much diff
ference what one does in this game, it
is all hell
But | have one consultations; | don t
have to sleep in the trenches, but just
iHtIus Hc Is lllc OHiI
outfit that sleeps in the trenches.
'Our work is from some distance be-
hind the lines into No Man s Land.
l III admit that many times 1 haven I
waited to go to bed to say my prayers
Were you ever in position where at
any moment you expected to pass on to
the other world? Well, believe me
kid, that is one way to find if one is
yellow.
81 have sent Amy several snap shots
taken on the battlefield. l have a vest
pocket kodak with me and have al
ready gotten several interesting views
of scenes in action. OF course there are
whole lot l cannot get, as one doesn t
think much about pictures at the time,
a dugout being his only salvation.
"Guess l have given you enough
about war and anyway this letter is
rather lengthy. Will call it enough
Let me hear from you. With my best
regards to you both and the little
one Your old friend,
"HAROLD KNIGHT
