since we got in the army. On the 24th of November. I heard that the 540th was at Hattonville, about six miles from here, so 1 went down there and saw them. Got to see all of the old gang. They hadn't seen quite as much of the war as we had. Their first position was around Thiancourt they went into that place the night we left there. The day after Thanks
 giving they moved forward toward the Rhine, as the S9th division is in the army of occupation. Phil was down there Thanksgiving day. l got to see him every once in a while. There is no use me trying to describe the hor- TOTS of war, you have to see it and you are ahead if you don't. But there is one thing I do want you to know, and that is, in my opinion the Ger mans have still won. When you see this devastated country and demolished towns. those aren't the words for it. And the prisoners and civil population. The German prisoners in France are all husky lot, no need to ask if they are well cared for, glance is suf- ficient. But those who have been in German hands well, it is a lot easier to look at dead men than these poor broken down specimens. 1 don't think that the worst that can be done to Germany will be bad enough.

The headquarters for the detail or remount was at Pone Le Neque, which is close to Trowville, big summer resort across the harbor from Havre. For those few weeks l certainly bad a good time there were no formations at all. There were 30G of us there, a hundred of the men went out after the horses, a hundred took care of them at the barns and the other hundred took them back to camp or on 10 the front.
 There were about eight or ten 1 French commissions working around the country at that time. They had a schedule of when the horse owners of each section were tO bring all theiI horses or mules into a designated town or cross road. the commission looked them over and picked out what they wanted.
