fas been among the missing for more
than three years and as he was last
heard from trying 10 run his ship into
the harbor at Trieste, Austria. during
the summer Of 1915. it looked like an
even chance that his bones had been
lying at the bottom of the Adriatic sea
for some time. But they haven't. He
not only sailed in but sailed out again
in perfect safety and made a good get
away with the last cargo that ever went
out of the port. He reached Englan
in safety and then shifted the base of
his operations to the Pacific ocean,
where he has been ever since. He has
been in command of the Wolmar Castle
and the Durham Castle and has, as he
expresses it, done fairly we'll" His
last exploit was to bring in a tremen-
was selling around IS cents pound and
for this he received at least a fair COM

SOLDIER BOYS

Referring to Sergt. j. f. Totman
l07 L. S. Inf. Hdqs. Co. Nov. 8, 1918.
To the Commanding General 9th Dr.
vision, A. L. T.
On the morning OF the 18th Of Sep
TENDER. 1918. just prior to the zero
hour, this soldier was ordered to es-
tablish an O. p. post at Yack Post and
remain in observation until further
orders. The post was established
and occupied by himself and two
men. The enemy's counter operation
fell in an area including this post and
several direct hits We're registered on
the post itself. Though reduced to
but one man this soldier continued to
observe and send 10 Headquarters in
formation of extreme Importance and
value. Later. in the morning of the
Goth, he received orders to establish q
forward post which necessitated con-
tlnual exposure to intense machine
gun fire in order to obtain the desired
Information. This he continued to
do, putting his men under cover. and
assuming all risks himself.
On the night of Sept. 30th he VOL
unteered to lead ration parties to iso-
lated posts close to the enemies lines
and, under constant observation and
fire. this latter mission he satisfac-
torily and successfully prefermed
without casualties. Again on the
same night under Capt. Bird he lead
a relief party to forward position,
and aided his commander in organic
ing the position for defence by pro-
curing an abandoned German ma
chine gun and ammunition under
heavy fire. Shortage of officers ne
cessitated Capt. Birds putting N c.
0. in command Of the position and
he chose this soldier. 1t is the opin-
ion of his commanding officer that
the few casualties suffered by his
men during this period. though ex-
posed to constant Smelling and ma
chine gun fire. was due to his untir-
ing efforts in their behalf and his
constant disregard for his own COM
fort and safety.

OUR BOY
OUR COUN1RY'S SERVICE

A letter received by Mrs. Laura
Cain Of Augusta from her son who
was at a hospital in France:
Dear Mother and the rest Of the
folks:
Well mother. hope that have not
caused you any worry on account OF
your not hearing from me. but have
been in the hospital for the last
month with a pretty badly shot up
hand. 1t happened to be my right
one so l couldn't write and | didn't
feel like getting any one to do 1t Tor
me. But l am o. X. now and feeling
fine and expect to go back to my out
fit any day now. suppose you want
to know how l happened to get hit so
I will tell you. At the beginning OF
the big drive on Sept. 26th our regi-
ment was the assault regiment and
I was in the first wave. with my
squal holding down the right flank
Early in the morning our barrage
opened up and such roaring of guns
was never heard on the front before
At the given hour we went over the
top and didn't meet any resistance
until we we're right on top of the FIRST
line trench and that was slight. We
kept going forward, all the time send
ing back prisoners. Everything went
along fine and we got along past our
detectives in the morning and got
orders to keep on going ahead. And
il was way along in the afternoon
when the enemy's resistance grew
stronger. SO we dug in hill and pre-
pared to spend the night. We beat
off two counter attacks during the
night and at the break of dawn in a
heavy rain storm we went forward
again and ran up against a lot Of
snipers. 1t was there that l got mine.
bunch of sniperS were causing us a
lot Of trouble and it was costly going
through them, so we halted and the
captain came down the line looking
for good shots and l was one of them
he picked out. One of the other fell
lows went with me and we crawled
on our hands and knees trying to 10
cate the sniping nests. After awhile
we located one about hundred yards
on an angle from us. SO / told my
buddy to crawl over in another hole
and stick his helmet up on his gun, so
the sniper would show himself. and
sure enough he did He put hole
in the helmet and | put a hole in his
head. so that ended him. But the
first thing I knew was a bullet going
across my right eye But it didn't do
much damage and then l knew that
another one had me spotted SO I beat
it to another hole and pretty soon a
bullet whizzed past my head and then
had him spotted and he got it. Aft
err that it was quiet and | started for
ward and the first thing l knew a
machine gun opened up and my hand
hung useless by my side. SO !
dropped out and craWled over to one
side and my buddy worked up the
other side so that we had the gun in
the middle. Then we just closed in
on it. Killed two Of the crew and
marched the other two back to the
company. SO that ended me, but
now the war is over and it won't be
long before we are all back and then
can tell you all about it. Kiss the
kids for me and keep one for yourself.
I will close now with love to ALI
Your loving son.
