When the Harrisburg soldiers come
home and talk about hard work and

in France, the tales won't be fiction
and every man will be willing to
back UP that statement. When the
armistice was signed there was let
up, of course, but then the boys got
busy getting acquainted with each
other in some lively boxing bouts,
wrestling matches, and football
games.
One TiresOmc Record
But the talk about work is straight.

of events in his army life overseas
has page after page filled with notes
of hikes in the rain and mud, drills
every day until at last it got so tire
some he missed a few weeks in his
diary.

trenches" hiking through mud all
night" "all in"-these are a few of
the entries on these pages, written
sometimes in a quiet sector during
training, then again while the boys
were in trenches waiting zero hour"
The local boys say they haven't
learned a whole lot about the French
language, so the folks at home
needn't worry about their talk. Some
of them who had been in base hos
pitals learned quite a bit of the for
eign tongue, but there are many
whose vocabulary does not include
500 French words.
The last big athletic events for the
boys in France were a big field meet
in Lea Mans in the early ''pring, and
divisional football game between
the Twenty eighth and Seventy-Ninth
or February Is, the teams playing in
mud ankle deep and finishing the
gridiron scrap with a 90 score.
Sergeant William II. Bennett, Riv-

the team from the Twenty-eighth.
