received his honorable discharge from
service and is again back at his old
position with the New York store. Mr..
Lund was a member Of the Medical
Corps recruited in this city and his
detail upon arrival was assigned to
active service at the front. During
the period Of his service he was de-
tailed on various sectors and was at
first aid stations and receiving hospi-
tails just behind the lines in every i'm
portant engagement in which the AM
erican troops participated. From
Chateau Thierry, the St. Mihiel drive
and on into the deadly Argonne drive
his company followed the troops. At
one time he was on duty ~ hours
without sleep. At times he served as
assistant in the hospital, again he
would be detailed to accompany the
ambulance and again his duties con-
sisted simply in grubbing stumps and
leveling the ground for the location
of temporary shelter for the wound
ed His experiences and the sights
witnessed by this young soldier would
fill volume of interest as he had an
exceptional opportunity to observe the
movement of the troops and interview
the wounded as they lay in their cots
recovering from their wounds.
