DEAD ISLANDER
is MUCH ALIVE
Sergeant Roy Pickup Writes Letter
Proving Himself Still Among
Active Soldiers.
TELLS OF HIS LAST BATTLE.
War Department Sends Detailed
Report Of the Nature of His
Wounds to Parent.

Sergeant Roy Pickup, with the
army of occupation, is very much
alive, reports to the contrary, not
withstanding.
My company was with bat
TALON of the Sixteenth infantry
and we advanced so fast that the
regiments on either side of us
could not keep up. so when we
reached our objective we were
about a half-mile ahead of all of
the rest and | say the Dutch made
it mighty warm for us for a couple
of days because they were using
artillery at us from three ways,
writes Sergeant Pickup to his
mother, Mrs. Mary E. Pickup,
14081a Third avenue, in letter
dated Dec 20. Sergeant Pickup on
July IS was wounded in the right
thigh and the left arm and leg by
gun shot and, after spending time
in base hospital, returned to duty
fully recovered on Sept. 3. The
letter received by the mother was
written about his experiences after
returning to the Fighting ranks.
Pickup, through an error on the
part of the compilers of the govern
ment's casualty lists, or through a
mistake by the recording officers
overseas, was reported several
weeks ago as dead. His mother
Immediately communicated with
the war department in Washington
and received notice to the effect
that her son had recovered from
the effects of his wounds and had
returned to duty.
Hardest Fighting.
In speaking of the drive men
toned in the foregoing paragraph,
Sergeant Pickup writes:
1.-The fighting in this sector is
considered the hardest of the war
and if there were any that were
worse, 1 am glad l was not in
them We were in this 10 days and
when we got relieved my nerves
were pretty well gone. Every time
would hear a shell coming, 1
would want to get in hole. It
did not matter how far away it was
going to light or whether it was
from the German artillery or our
own
''As far as we have gone in this
country, everything looks pretty
good" Sergeant Pickup says in
speaking about Germany, his unit
being a part of the army of occu- |
patton. 1.-The houses are in fairly !
good repair, but they are in bad |
shape for eats. They just about |
live on soup and substitute coffee |
and a little fresh pork once in a |
while 1t is very seldom that we
see a horse. The work is done with |
oxen. The horses were taken over |

I'VE have a rumor here now that !
we are to be relieved right after |
Christmas, but I don't believe it for |
think that this division will be |
one of the last to leave for the Uni |

1t is reported that Sir Horace

visit is said to be an effort to in
