know that IL o'clock was the hour
every one went outside and listened
NOT far away was the line and we
all heard the terrific barrage that was
going on and promptly called the man
who had brought the rumor liar. In
the afternoon tho, there wasn't shot
fired and we started to believe the
news which was verified next day.
That>night we packed the hospital on
trucks and left the following morning
for the rear--you know, of course, we
always travel on big three-ton motor
trucks. We sure made record time
packing and every one was yelling
and shouting. Never saw happier
bunch.
We fooled around few days in a
torn-up town near the old front lines
and then moved to Verdun. When we
reached there we knew we were going
to be part Of the Troops of Occupa-
tion," which we consider an honor.
Verdun and her forts is a wonderful
place, believe me. We moved from
there to Esch, the second principle
city of Luxembourg, and even the
people went wild when they saw us.
The following day we left, passing
thru Luxembourg city and to our
present destination on the border, SO
you see I will have been in at least
three countries when / next see you,
The people are all glad to see us and
the majority are in sympathy with

us fne-never had better quarters

Am mighty glad the war is over
Guess / can consider myself pretty
lucky. Was at the front for nine
different fights all along the line

scratch. Pretty good, don't you think
Have had some mighty narrow es
capes, tho, and am carrying a piece

she'll exploded. This happened as w
were advancing the last time in tn

The hardest fight, I believe, we wer
in, was at Scissors, on the 18th o

Have got something at last that sur
