A SOLDIERS LETTER
Sergeant Nicholas Rasmussen.

The following extract was taken from letter
written September Is, 1918, by Sergeant Nicho-
las Rasmussen to his aunt Mrs W. A. Taylor
This is to let you know I am still in
the best of health. We are back of the
lines now for little rest, a few days
perhaps. You no doubt know where
we were when in the trenches. Well
[ can assure you that was soft COM
pared to what we have gone through in
the last months. You also know
where our division was on another
front and how it changed the outlook of
the war. We sure turned the Huns
faces toward Berlin and are keeping
them agoing.
The first town we captured had to
do away with all the Boches but the
last town we captured we took all
prisoners and they were very glad to
come over. It's pretty hard to get eats
when we are on drive like the last,
some times two days without anything
to eat but now we carry reserve rations
with US. I also am good with the little
shovel we carry with us because we ad-
vance certain distance and can go no
farther. Then we dig a hole big enough
to crawl into and that is good shelter
from shrapnel and machine gun fire. I
was hit on the thumb with shrapnel.
Did not go to hospital, just to first aid
station. Pretty lucky don't you think?
We have been getting quite bit of
sweets and good cigars lately so won't
bother sending for any. Went to
church last Sunday. First chance I
had for about months. AS it is al
most time to stand retreat will close
with best regards to all.
