 The second platoon was wiped out except five, and some of our boys were gassed and two were shell shocked, but the rest of us are all right. I am writing you the facts and not some thing to put you off with hay idea as I don't think you would worry as much if you know the truth instead of lot of bull. and for my part I don't worry as I have a strong feeling lam coming home at the end of this war so just have patience and ycu will see ! l toe honely, or ordered to cut it off 1 The country around is quite pretty and the weather for the couple of days 1 has been fine, when we first went ir Bthe lines. it rained most of the time which was good for us as there is very | little doing in rainy weather. We went in swimming Sunday and 1 yesterday Sunday the band marched us down and played while we were il swimming, so there was some class tc Us.
 There was couple Of oldish womer came down to hear the band which cid not seem to be faxed at the least
 The country here is beautiful ant this is about the only place that ism 1 bommed to pieces, but can't say tha with safety.
 Our company has been awarded thf French cross which is considered very good at any rate. the colonel and ma. jor both speek very highly of our com. pany
 I heard the news were that peace had been declared over in the states but fighting still continues with II! boys.
 We have been eating peaches anC cookies for the last few days. so ha! been like a party.
 we went to band concert las night and an entertainment furnished by the band which was good: tonigh we are going to the movies and som other battalion furnishes entertainment for us tomorrow night and so on, whil we are out on our rest.
 We were issued new spiral iesgins cap, o. D. shirt and socks, yesterda. and probably will be given some nor new clothes before long
 ! would like to write Mir. Strouse letter and a few others and probabl will write a few in the next few days You can just bet when I get bac home again you won't have to b fussy in the least. as have been cur ed from all of that: there is an articl in the Saturday Evening Post, date February ?. 1918. the title was "Unde the Shell Fire" the most true stor ever written, if you would read tha you could picture how we are Twin am going down to the hospital to morrow. if nothinf happens, to SC some of the boys.
