 April 18th, 1918. Dear Stroller:
 About the only thing that possibly be of any interest would be to de scribe as best I can miniature shrapnel bombardment we had dem' onstrated a few days ago.
 Under the direction of couple of Canadian non-coms and by crew of gunners from Camp Funston these two instruments of destruction just about demolished our model trenches in a very little while.
 The guns themselves are very simple looking affair and only shoot 50 as to drop bomb some 750 to 800 yards away. They make very little noise when fired-in fact sound more like an air gun than anything else.
 The bombs themselves are very ordinary looking things, much on the order of mercury flask. They are cast iron cylinders twelve inches long and three inches in diameter and weigh about sixteen pounds.
 am told that they are divided into two compartments one contain ing the explosive and the other be ing full of slugs of various descrip tiohs, razor blades and marbles, etc toS insure their effectiveness. At any rate they don't look so danger
