SOLDIER LETTERS
Why People Like to Read Them
Their Vslue as a Permanent Re-
cOrd-FultOn County Boys in All
Branches of Service Military and
Naval.

Every one in Fulton County who
has stayed at home in body but whose
thought and interest has been over
seas with the boys who have been do
ing the amazing things that have
made the name of Americans famous
in Europe for generations to come, is
interested in hearing or reading what
every individual soldier boy has been
doing and we who have been getting
this distance view" of this great
World War, seeing the thing as a
whole, realize that it is not only on
the battle lines that our American
boys have been doing splendid and
heroic work. but as well back of the
front lines and especially in the evac-
uation and Base Hospitals. The men
themselves both in the Service of Sup
ply and the Medical Corps and in all
the other branches of service so es-
sential to the fitness and the main
tenance of the men on the fighting
lines were hardly in a position to
reaEze the Importance Of the work
they were doing and many of them
nave chatted over the circumstances
which prevented them from proving
their mettle in actual combat. When
y
be ieve the bravery and courage of
the men who served behind the lines
will appear in their true perspective
and insignifcence.
Fulton County has, we believe, had
representatives in every branch and
department of the military and naval
service of the Nation and possibly
some who have been in the Canadian
Service There are many records of
service to be written; some of them
will onlv appear in printed form as
the publishers of the various news
papers Of the County get hold Of
| letters from the boys who have been
Il service and put them or extracts
from them in type. We find that
some of the boys are rather sensitive
on this point; they seem to think that
the publication of letters written with
perfect intimacy to their own fam
lilies or close friends and telling the
personal experiences in which they
know these friends are deeply inter
ested; make them appear rs boastful
and they feel that their own eX-
Der!ences have been duplicated and
surpassed a thousand times by their
comrades in Service. We who have
stayed at home do not share this
point of view: we do not think of our
bows as boastful and we are anxious
to know what they have seen and
heard and done while thew have been
away from us and we most enjoy
having it told to us by themselves il
their own intimate unconventional
way. We hope that many of these
etters find their way into print.
