 Somewhere in France,
 IS March 1918. Dear Leigh and all:
 Believe l am now about normal in mind so will endeavor to catch up on my correspondence. Have been in such a h- of a muddle for so long that what few notes have sent must have been joke to those trying to read them, but believe me one who is in this game with their whole might and soul have no time to write such letters as I have seen duplicat- ed in the papers. They are only over here for a name.
 We'll, to start in with I am now on Q 7-day leave and as this is both a historic place and an old summer resort for the aristocracy @ l thought l would make the trip while could l. is in the French Alps and in view of both the Swiss and Italian Alps. NJ. Blanc can be seen from the nearby hills and it is but an hours ride from Geneve, also a short distance north of Marseille and Nice. Intended to visit all the above named places but it took so long to get here from where we are station cd that I would not get any rest if I travelled further.
 Now for a short account of my last go in the trenches as it come near CT to being an honest Indian war than my previous experiences.
 We were only in two nights when the Boches put over a heavy attack of gas projectiles and it sure played h. with part of two companies, but l only three men died and they be- | came panic stricken on account of the flare of the shells and did not get ! on their masks, but several others got pretty sick and had to be re- placed (For my part l will take shell or rife fire in place of gas as it is a miserable feeling to try and . fight win that mask onJ Then 1 two mornings after the gas here | Fritz came, 25O strong. under the protection Of a rolling barrage. for a big raid and the intention of trying to take the sector >,a my right, but we had smelled a mouse and instead of finding Us couped and battered up in our front line he found us com ing in for a counter attack. therefore | both his plans were frustrated and as near as we can tell he did not get more than two prisoners and luite likely none. as those two men may have been blown to fragments by large shells We found one Boohe Captain and of his 22 men killed inside our lines and we took prisoners. Our losses in killed ant wounded were about equivalent , 10 the above figures. but from what ! have learned about the number of ' Germans who were later found in No Mans Land and his own wire I 1. know his loss must have been to over ours and as he pulled the . stunt after a long rehearsal and had . the advantage of getting his barrage . down right where he was to come, 1t shows he is not there on this fight . stun. We lost a 1st. lieutenant out ] Cf our company as he was hit in the . back of the head by shrapnel, but did not get only 9 couple small . splinteTs of shell casing in me, as seemed to be just in the out edge of one side his box barrage. Tried hard to get platoon through 1t so IS to cut oT his retreat but il mean, sacrifice of men so II .ook them straight over into his rench to my front and thought night get some one there but our had been forced to cover his inc in general aA dthey knowing this
