to a hospital in New Jersey in which

received in the battle of Chateau

top on our first day before Chateau
Thierry," he said. did not get a
chance to fire my gun. Got it in the
calf of the right leg as soon as got
out of the trench, and machine gun

produce the serious results, but the
poison gas that the Germans let off
and which filled the air at that time
and place, that produced gas gan
creme Gas Infection and gas gangrene
caused the loss of the leg.
Albert Hunter was working in
Marshfield when war was declared.
His clIum came to him the next morn
ing and said, "War is declared; when
shall we enlist?" Hunter replied,
Tomorrow, and so they did, They
entered A Company Marshfield, went
to Camp McArthur,> were put into
the famous 32d Division, and saw
much service, before the Germans
put him out of the game at Chateau

His only regret is that he got hit be-
fore he had chance to shoot once at
the enemy.
