SOLDIERS LETTER
Series of Letters From Max
Greene, American E. F.

a Job I've undertaken to relate
all that's happened to me since
last April. Pm flooding the mails,
and haven't half finished. How
ever, I'll skip over minor events
and write the things that made
the most impression on me.
Let's see, left off last time
with the st. Mihiel drive, so pin
your ears back and listen.
The prospect of a rest, and
maybe a bath "sans cootie," was
most alluring, and l was promis-
ing myself all sorts of good
times during the week or so we'd
be out of the lines.
Hiking the greater part of the
day, we stayed over mite at one
of the toy villages with which
this land is abounding, and late
the next afternoon climbed into
French trucks driven by funny
little slant eyed Annamites
(French colonials from Indo-
China) and parted" for the
rest area, where we arrived at
sunrise the morning after.
All during this trip, we were
never out of hearing of the guns,
and when we climbed down from
the motors we heard a peach of
a barrage drumming away,
somewhere in the distance.
"Fine place for a rest|
thought l, but upon enquiring Of
a Frog M. P, how far away the
front was, learned that we were
Is miles back, and that the fir
ing we heard was at Verdun,

tember.
