It is peculiar in cident that Connecticut girls happen to be doing Salvation Army work in sector and these brave women work under shell fire and bring drinks into trenches. They bake cakes and pies all the time for us, and if boys have no money to pay them, give them to They work night and day and their whole determination to be to give us everything possible regardless of what 1t costs them either in time, money posture to danger"
