French village in Picardy, is perhaps
one Of the most interesting pictures

two companions know when this pho
tograph was taken nearly two years

stood would today be the center Of
interest in the world war From day
to day the public is learning of the
heroic efforts Of our troops in giving
assistance to the British and French
soldiers in this very section of France
which has been the center Of the
great arena in which terrific fighting
has taken place. In the little village
of Ham. too, there has been encount-

I have taken the liberty to write you.
Permit me first of all if you will TO
extend to you and your family the
sincere sympathy of all the officers
and men of our regiment. We feel
keenly Wilbur's passing from our
midst for while you have lost a son,
we have lost a comrado, q comrade

Wilbur was wounded by a German
shell, was hurried to the hospital in
an ambulance but died shortly after
reaching the hospital.
| happened to be standing with a
group of his pals shortly after he was
taken away and I wish you could
have heard some of the tributes that
they paid to him. His sergeant said,
I'VE looked upon him as volunteer
of the company. Whenever there
was hare or dangerous task to he
done, Wilbur always said, "I'll go, let
me do it,
Every man in the company admired
him. for while they were down at the
front Wilbur drove down every night
through shot and shell and brought
them food from the rear, not because
he had to do it but because he vol
unteered to go. Truly you may all
be justly proud Of him. Like the
Great Master Himself he gave his life
for his comrades.
He was buried by the hospital
chaplain since / was at the front.
The exact location of the grave was
undoubtedly sent to Graves Registra-
ton Service, Washington. BY writ
ing there in due time you should he

As the chaplain of your departed
son, l bid you all look unto Him who

you with the hope of a happy re-
union in Heaven where war and death
shall be no more.
