Dear Folks
I will drop you a few lines being
that we can write anything we want
to. The order just came out today.
so ! can write you a more interesting
letter, although you know l am not
much of a letter writer.
First I will tell you about where
I am. The town we are in is called
Vandiers, and it is about Is miles
southwest of Metz, so if you can
find Metz on the map you will k:icw
just about where l am.
have been as close as s miles
from Metz, could see the steeples
Of Metz but that was all. Well
suppose you have been wondering
wheather l have been over the top
and how many times, while the war
was going on, l will tell you the
truth l have gone w the top a good
many times since the war stopped
but not while it was going Oh. Bat
it was very close at that, this COM
pany just missed going to the front
by twenty-four hours, we were on the
way and had just a days hike left
when the armistice was signed. Be-
fore that we were working close to
front here and there and we we're
under shell fire all the time while
the war was on, the big cannons all
around us and the German aero
planes over US; they did not stay
long though, because the cannons
would drop them or scare them away.
1t sure was a sight, believe me, and l
wish you could have seen some Of it.
| have been all over France, from end
to end and side to side, and have
!! been in all the largest cities. have
been all over the front line trenches
and, say, it was a sight. You can
see things there that you would never
think of. I can not write of what l
saw but will tell you about it when
! come home, which will not be long
For the last two weeks we have
been repairing railroads which were
shot to pieces. The one we are work
ing on now is the road from Metz tt
Nancy, it is a double track and very
important. We are almost done eng
then we will be through for coed
and may get home before this letter
am sending you a picture of tn
house in which l am staying which
found in the house, but it does no
look like it now; there are shell hole
all over it now and all the window
are shot in and everything torn down
We have picked out the best room
and cleaned them out and make tn
best of it that we can.
All the towns around here ar
torn down and can never be repaired
There are all kinds of sights aroun'
the front.
Did I tell you about Stark bein
hurt? He was run owe by a WACO
and his leg was broken above tn
ankle. AS it is now bed time vii
