 The following letter was recently re- ceived from Norman Phillips: Dear Mother and Dad: Just got out of the trenches after being in eight days. There was nothing doing, the trenches were half filled with water. We had rubber boots, so 1t was not so bad, the nights seemed very long. One i night rain poured and lightning lit up No Mans Land.
 Got a gold service stripe, will sew it on when l get my new suit. Received lot of mail up here
 l Out of the trenches again after be- 1 ing in fourteen days, the moon light nights were beautiful. We were wish | ing the Boches would come over but they didn't. I was in the ambush l ; waiting for them to come to a cer- tain point We had to lie still for many 1 hours. When we got up I was cold. | While we were up there the artil- l lery on both sides fired all night when ge got out they shelledSus all the time They sent over a few gas shells, the gas made my nose run. The masks are uncomfortable, so did not put mine on I have been through the section where the drive was.
 Have just finished breakfast and am l policing our little tent, where Dan Ben and I live. This little flower am sending is out of a trench. I aH sitting on a bench under an apple tree writing this and a French family mostly women. are having. The fielt has lot of barbed wire, 4s far as I can see there is barbed wire, and l wonder what will be done with it wher l the war is over. We had a good laugh Dan said he was going to stay ir France and get rich by keeping a hero of goats and feeding them on barbet wire, ha, ha, how is that for Yankee 1 wit?
 Don't worry about me, got wound ed. but didn't get it very bad, I an all sewed up and expect to be out witt the boys again in a few weeks. We art having good service in the hospital They are. all so good and kind to ui I tell you it is great to talk to ar American girl again.
