More Soldier Boys
Return to Homes

Edwin Smith, Billy Walker, Gar
field Dunning and Earl Barker. men,
bers of Battery B, have returned
home after almost two years spent in
the service. The boys arrived home
feeling we'll. looking good and happy
to be back.
These four boys and four from
Rocky Ford were in Battery B, and
were together during their entire
time of sevice, or practically so. Thew
spent most of the time in active SER
vice, several months at the front
and later in the army of occupation,
having gone as far into Germany as
Coblenz. They experienced all the
thrills and terrible acts of war, but
have little to say about that feature
nreferring rather to talk of the more
pleasant things they experienced
rather than the gruesome side OF
warfare.
These boys were witnesses to the
sinking of the Tuscania when hun
dreds of soldiers were endangered
and when several lives were lost.
They saw what little there was to
see on this memorable occasion, but
their boat made a hasty getaway
and made 1t into an English port
without further convoy. Soon after
entering France they were moved up
to near the battle lines and then right
into the engagements.
These boys went thru uninjured
but Dunning was very sick for sew
eral weeks and was in a hospital for
about three months

boys who has returned from overseas
