 Some extracts from the letter are here given because of their general interest to the public:
 AS soon as the armistice was signed I immediately wrote to number of my friends who had been kind enough to write me regularly, and I assured them that since there would be practically nothing for me to do while I remained over here I would make up for all the letters I owed them.

ARMY IN PEACE TIME

''I had always heard that in peace time the army only had to drill cou- pie of hours day and then put in the rest of the time doing bunk fatigue. But have decided now that whoever told me that was referring to some other army. But there are some advantages in the system after all. When you are out in the mud and rain during the day. it takes your mind off of the kind of billet you have. And then when you get back to your billet. that keeps you from thinking about the discomforts of the rain and mud outside.
