Decatur county boys in Co. F, 35lst
Infantry have done over in France:
Twelve days upon the water, '
Before we sighted land;
We landed in old England
And shook King Georges hand.
We were stationed in rest camp;
1t was an awful place,
And then we left old England
And started in the race.
Across the English Channel,
We started in a boat;
The boys all got SO sick and sWore
They'd get the kaiser's goat.
We landed then in Cherbourgh.
A rest camp | must say;
We didn't stay there very long
We were soon upon our way.
With forty in box car,
Twas crowded mighty bad;
Those cars were like small wagons
Twas all that Frenchy had.
thought we'd never get there.
We we're four days on the way;
We unloaded then at Dijon
And marched to POuillenay.
We purchased there some coquae.
And thought we'd quench DER
thirst;
The battle then was started,
For the fighting '31st.
The people all were sorry,
When we left old Pouillenay;.
We were packed again in sardlne
cans
And shipped to Chaupey.
We were billeted in COW barns,
The coolies had the mob;
1t wasn't but a short time
Till the flu was on the job.
The doctors couldn't do much,
The C'C's were so scarce;
The way the flu ragged on
Sure was something fierce.
We left there late one evening,
We didn't have train:
We marched into the woody parts
OF old Alsace Lorraine.
Tn where the bullets whistled,
And the sound of bursting shell!
Made you feel so kind of homesick
AAu do IhOu6A yoo "~AN 80 -
We started for livelier place,
Now that we'd broke the ice,
And when we got as far as Metz
They'd signed the armistice.
We landed then in Frenchville;
We drilled in mud and rain;
The boys all thought we're going
home,
But their thoughts were all in
vain
We started on a hike one day,
Our packs upon our backs;
Our ammunition and rifles,
And q lunch in our haverSack.
We were from Iowa and Kansas
dear
And old Missouri too;
We were headed for better land, |
And going right straight through.
We were getting tired and hungry;
1t was a stricken band,
When some trucks came out to meet
us,
They hauled us into Liffol lie
Grand.
We're stationed in the s. o. S.,
But our time is coming near;
The question on the board just now,
Is where do we 60 from here?

Dear sar'p Mother: ' i Haven't eef' heard
from you for long time but have
been looking for letter soon. l am
fine and dandy. hope you and Pa.
are the same: l got a letter from IN
a whole week there. We have a lit
tie snow on the ground now and this
old German here said it was going
to snow some more soon; he said
it would get about three feet deep
here when it did snow. | sent you
some writing paper few days ago
and I sent you some of my pictures
the other day, hope yyo you got gthat then EN-
will get to come home; the way
things look here they will keep US
forever, but some think we will
move about the middle of this
month but maybe not towards home.
The officers are drilling us pretty
hard all the time; they treat US like
we were dogs or some kind Of
beasts. The war is over now and
now; some of them, when we went
over the top, were as yellow as gold
but they are real brave now. One
of the officers in Co. F, called some
of his men s. of B. yesterday and
they are not supposed to use that
kind OF language at all. d1dn t
tell you anything about my trip
across the sea. We were on the
waiter thirteen days and got sick
and could not eat anything for five
days, and they had some of the rot
tenest junk for us to eat, some boil
ed eggs that we're as green inside
as grass and some had chickens in
them, and rotten fish and some rab-
bit, no telling when they were kill

and then nobody could eat any of
the rabbit % It made them all sick

Heffingen Luxembourg,

f1cllluSeu lIuAelu DuFS,
Feb. 8, 1919.
Dear Father: l will try to write
you few lines to let you know
am we'll and feeling fine and dandy,
hope you are the same. We are
having some real winter weather for
the last few days; there is about
two inches of snow on the ground,
warm up to the last few days, so
this little cold snap almost freezes
me to death. The old man where we
stay told me it would warm up as
soon as the moon was full. 1t
made me think of Milton Jones-do
you remember how he used to judge
the weather by the moon? Well
We are staying in little town call
ed Heffingen. The buildings are all
odd appearance with their tiled
roofs; some of the buildings are
very old. There is some pretty
country here in Luxembourg: The
soil is very productive. ! like this
The people are more modern, more
up-to-date, but at that, they are
hundred years behind the times
compared with the States. wish
you could see some of the farm
implements they use over here; they
sure look funny to me. What are
the boys doing now, going to school
suppose? Did Charlie ever get
the Dutch helmet that sent him?
Tell the boys to write to me. Do
you see Nellie and Lenore very Of
ten? sure would like to see
them. haven't any idea when we
will be home. l got a letter from
Maude the other day and she said
Jim was looking for his discharge
any time now. Well he was more
fortunate than l was, for believe
me, the fellow that comes over here
sure has a real mans job. Life in
the front lines wasn't any fun.
Well, as it is getting late and Il
want to write to Nell, l will close
this letter asking you to answer
soon. l remain your soldier son,
