her first cake turner was a piece of
tin roofing.
In her march forward with her
adopted sons. Ma" Burdick became
familiar with every shell hole. de-
vastated village and battered cellar
on her front, which was on the
Toul sector.
In some places she fried her
cakes and pedaled her sewing ma
chine in n cellar, protected by a
camouflaged tarpaulin, and at an
other point her hotel was a COW
stable, in which cobwebs had to be
pushed aside to make room for
the chimney of her cook stove. Dur
ing the heavy rains or the first fall
the long oYercoats worn by the boys
would freeze stiff and they would
stand them around her flapiack fire
to thaw out. She cut the tails off of
thousands OF the long. wet, muddy
coats and with the SalVaged material
fashioned fatigued caps for her
adopted sons.
Her working hours were from
daylight until she grew so weary she
had to take few hours sleep. But
she found time to hold three gospel
meetings and song services Il week.
Sometimes these meetings were held
in dugouts and in abandoned and
battered buildings. The boys say the
songs were not loud but were from
the heart. These meetings resulted
in many conversions among Ma"
Burdick'S adopted doughboy sons.
An actual testimonial given by one
of these converts at a meeting has
been preserved.
