his report it must have been a most
wonderful sight Mrs. Anna LANCE,
his mother, has kindly handed us the
letter for publication.
Aug. Is, 1918.
Dear Mother:
Last night I had the opportunity of
watching the allied airplanes bombing
la German city. 1t was the most Won
derful sight that ! have seen since I
came to France German machines had
flown over my head on their way to
bomb French city as they do nearly
chine guns loose on certain objects on
this side of the line, the course of the
bullets being plainly visible because one
mated in some way. Then came the al
lied planes going north. The German
planes began bombing the French town
about the same time the allied planes
saw the German searchlights light up
the sky when the first bombs began to
fall.
The German anti-aircraft guns began
to put up a barrage of shrapnel which
could be seen bursting in air. So could
the bombs be seen bursting below. espe-
|cially if they struck someth ing intlam-
mable Munitions must have been struck
also according to the explosives and
flares. Once when rocket signal had
indicated the position of a plane the
searchlights concentrated upon it and a
moment later the plane dropped in
flames. But the Germans burned up i'm
mense quantities of high explosives
without results.
Our band is playing "Old Kentucky
Home" and it almost makes me home
sick The band stays with headquarters
so we have music, nearly every night.
when we are behind the lines some dis
lance.
| got letter from sister the other day
and shall answer it some of these days.
We have not had much hot weather
this summer, and our wooden clothes
have not been too hot.
Love from your son.
