WRITES MONTANA
MEN WERE THERE
Private William Vaughn Com
poses Poem Which Indicates
Heroism of Treasure Boys.

We're going back to old Montana,
To the place we all adore
To our mothers, wives and ssVesthearLss
And our friends there by the score.
To the place we call home, boys,
Where our hearts just long to be;
Just to see those smiling faces
Waiting there for you and me
They will all be glad to see us,
There's not a vision of a DOUBT;
Rut there'll be some cheering
When from the train we shout:
we've come back to old Montana,
With Old Glory waving high,
And we stamped the mark OF freedom
On all Europes sky.
They said t'would take good men to do it.
And / guess they meant II, too
For they chose good old Montana
When no other stale would DO.
But you see there was 2 reason;
When the president called US here
He wanted all hard-finished men,
And not light veneer.
He said that iron-nuscled men
Were just the kind for him,
So he chose good old Montana
Just to get the men with vim.
Some day we're going back there,
And / will say this TO all:
That we will all be ready
When they make another call.
The above poem was composed By Pr,-
yate William Vaughn, company il, 9Th
Z. s. engineers. overseas. He evidently
appreciates the heroism and hardness
displayed by the boys from the Treasure
state and the poem indicates their ser
vices were much in demand Vaughn
