 Somewhere in France,
 July IS, 191S Dear Walter:
 l have not had time to eat or sleep lately let alone write But e1 got relieved last night, so I could get little rest so will drop you d few lines. We have had excellent weather here for three months: the days are warm but the nights are cool
 We'll Fritz got sore about some thing couple of days ago and came over after us, but very few ever got back alive. Boy, you have no idea what this place we are in or the sector our division is hold ing is like. I never heard such noise in my life, or saw so many dead or wounded. We are run ming 25 hours a day hauling troops ammunition and supplies to the front then hauling wounded men back to the hospitals. Yesterday morning we went right into the place where the Germans and Americans were having hell and I worked all morning carrying the wounded off the field. I was on ono end of a stretcher and Ger man prisoner from the Prussian Guards who was just captured was on the other end, but he was al ways on the front end of it. He and I carried off the wounded un- til I had all I could carry in my truck. then I carried them back to the hospital; among the men I carried were Americans. French and Germans, all badly wounded and they all helped each other and gave each other tobacco until l got them far behind the lines to the hospital We were under the heaviest bombardment I guess the world has ever known. The French who fought at Nerdun said that i Verdun was never as bad as what we were in. A bridge was blown up just as I was about to cross it and I got full of sneezing gas and tear gas, but it didn't amount to much.
 Walter. you never had an idea what fighters the Americans are. and don't worry, we won't give them an inch.
 am we'll and am not coming home in a wooden kimona. Boy, Sherman never knew what war was.
