here on a three day furlough. Mrs.

elated at the arrival of her twQ sons.

gun company and were in the thick of
several of the drives. The two White
brothers were gassed in the SCISSORS sec
tor and confined to the hospital for about
two months Ora Whitney, who halls
from Williamstown, was probably as
fortunate as any nan who crossed the
seas Though continually in the lines,
not day was spent in the hospital for
wounds or sickness. In one encounter in
men returned and yet he escaped with
out scratch. These young men viii
