emmett BOYS COMING
HOME
Transferred Back to 41st Divis-
ion and Slated for Early
Return

All Emmett boys who were former
members of the Second Idaho and at
tached to the 41st division, and who
desire to retire from the service, are
coming home from France at an early
date, according to a letter received
from "The Boy" Saturday. The let
ter was dated December 80, and is in
part as follows:
"Today orders came through trans
ferring all of the old 41st Division
boys back to the 41st division. So |,
with many others, have been trans
ferred to the 164th Ambulance Co.,
41st division And the 41st division
will leave for the United States about
the 10th of January. So by the time
you get this letter will probably be
in the u S. Hurrah! Col. Clark and
Floy are the only ones from Emmett
that are not coming. The Colonel
does not feel that his work is complet-
ed in the A. E. F. yet, and so he will
still remain in charge of the hospital
And Floy will stay with his dad.
"The Colonel could have held all of
us if he wished, as we were no longer
in the 41st division. But he very kind
ly offered to transfer all to the 41st
division, who formerly belonged to it,
if they wished Very few refused. 1t
will disrupt the working of Camp
Hospital No 26 for quite a while and
means lots more work for the Colonel
in getting thing organized again, but
he has let all of US go, nevertheless.
"We leave sometime after the hrst
of the month for the 164th Ambulance
Company, which is located a short dis
tance from here. We are supposed to
be all ready for transportation to
the coast by the 9Th of January, so we
expect to be on our way by the 18th.
Tommy Eggleston, Otto Chambers,
and the other boys who are with the
machine gun outfits are also coming.
Don't write any more until you hear
from me-"
