in France, which Is now going on four
months, and as it was letter that was
addressed to me in Texas, in April, it
has been to several places before
catching up with me and consequently
the envelope IS covered with many ad-
dresses, but eventually it has arrived
at its proper destination, and as it was
from you am making a point to
answer you at once.
To begin with left Texas in April
and had the pleasure of spending a
day with Grace, having fine time and
seeing some old friends and relations
while home, treat l am very thank
full to have been able to enjoy.
Since have been in France l have
travelled quite considerably and of
course have seen many interesting
sights, though of course some rather
gruesome. You have read enough of
the war and its attending horrors in
the papers and periodicals, so l shall
non dwell on that subject. have not
had any very exciting experiences out
of the ordinary run in the average
soldiers life. OF course l have been
under fire both from infantry and
artillery and also have been exposed to
fire from enemy bombing planes. So

To the dear ones at home:
Well just came back from the
front, it isn't near so bad as you think
it is. You don't work there only at
night and sleep daytime.
We lost lots of men from gas. had my
gas mask on for eight hours, these
men that got it took their masks off
thought it was all gone. but kept
mine on and didn't get it at all.
only saw three Germans in three
days and they came in and gave up,
said they were hungry and didn't want
to fight, but were forced too.
saw Arch about ten minutes the
night left for the front, he is not
far from here but don't think will
get to go to see him.
They shell this town about every
night and shoot gas too but am an
artist about putting on a gas mask and
lodging these big shells, ha, ha. The
shell fire is hard to get use to, but it
don't take long, scares a person at
first but you don't pay any attention
to it after day or two.

did lay close to the ground when they

work, defeating the enemy in every en-
counter and in two instances killed or
captured an entire division. Our d.

distinction for its courage and fearless
ness, having received written praise
and commentator from General Per-
shing and also from the French general

Americans will when they get a chance.
At present we are in what is con-
sidered quiet sector so life is not SO
