Corporal Robert Martin, just home
from the Fighting Front in France,
was a welcome caller at The True
Northerner office on Saturday and
Monday last. 1t would take volumes
to do justice to the wonderful stories
of our brave boys at the front. "Bob"
is extremely modest, and in all of his
talk about the war, not one word is
said about his own experiences, unless
in reply to a question, and then there
is no elaboration. "None of that
Hero stuff for me" is the way he puts
it. Be that as it may, he is real
"Hero" to the folks back home just
the same. He has been in France
now for six months and a half. He
was all through the big battle at
Chateau Thierry, which is now con-
sidered to be the turning point of the
war. He has been Ceased" and
wears yellow stripe on his sleeve
in recognition Of that honor. He
knows now what war really is, in all
its stern realities, and while he has
been sent home as special instructor
in Southern Artillery Training camp
he hopes to again be permitted to
join his comrades "Over There" and
be with them when Old Glory is car
ried through the streets of Berlin.
He will report for duty soon at Camp
Jackson, Columbia, South Carolina.
