WILLIAM F. KELLER OF RAPl-
DAN WRITES FRIEND
They Have That Kamerad Stuff
Down PAT; Can't Believe
The Devils

The following letter was received
by 0. C. Kunkel of Rapidan from
William F. Keller who was wounded
in the Marine drive July 20.
Camp Hospital No. 81, Tours, France.
August %, 1918.-Dear Friend, Re-
ceived your letter and was very glad
to hear from you again. / am still
in the hospital but getting along fine,
expect to get back to my company
soon.
/ see by your letter you are having
the same old bunch 1t the dances I
sure would like to take them in.
You want to know more about the
Huns, what? All I can tell you is
they're out of luck. They cannot
stand up against those Yanks. We
sure had them on the run and are
giving them plenty right along. You
ought to have been with us when we
started across the morning of the 18th
OF July. We gave them the heaviest
barrage / ever heard. You couldn't
hear thing for the roar of the
cannon which lasted only forty min
utes. Then the tanks and infantry
started across. Also gave them hell
from the sky. Our airplanes bombed
them to a stand still. They few very
low and tried their machine guns
into Fritzie's retiring troops. l don't
know if it is part of their daily drill
but they sure got the "kamerad"
stuff down pat. Their hands come up
automatically when they cry Kane
rad" You must have seen by the
papers what we did. only / did not
last long enough. Got hurt the
morning of the third day. 1t sure was
lively while was there. The only
thing / am worrying about now is
Rienholdt. l haven't heard how he
is, don't know whether he is dead
or alive. sure hope he is still alive,
also the rest of the boys. Edward
was with us but don't know if Edwin
was or not. His section was in re-
serve but they might have been cal
led up.
There are some wounded Huns
here in the hospital They sure are
glad to get out of the war and they
don't think much of the kaiser. OF
course one don't want to believe all
they say. | think the darn square
heads knock the kaiser just to keen
on the good side of the United States
boys here. For my part / haven't
got any use for the devils, even If
am German. If the fools wouldn't
be so thick headed they would see
that all their fighting won't get them
anywhere. ! won't pity, none of the
damn squareheads.
Well old timer l will stop for this
time, hope to hear from you again
soon. AS ever, Bill.
