James DeFord Returned

James DeF'ord, a former member
of Company F of Lewiston, return
ed the first of the week from
France. He spent fourteen months
overseas and five months of this
time was spent in the front line
trenches. He was gassed twice, the
last time quite seriously, and wears
the gold wound stripe on his right
sleeve. He has seen more actual
service than any of the Kendrlck
boys who have returned so far. He
was in the fight at Chateau Thierry,
Scissors, Belleau Woods, Paris-Metz
Road and some minor battles. At
BelIeau Woods the casualties were
so heavy that his company suffered
nearly seventy percent replace
ments. Mr.. DeFord has almost re-
covered from the effects of being
gassed but his throat still troubles
him at times and he will always
bear the scars of the buns upon
his back and shoulders. The first
time he was gassed with chlorine
and the last time by mustard gas.
Inl speaking OF his experience of
going over the top he made the re-
mark that the one thought upper
most in the minds of the men was to
gain their obiectives. This idea
was so thoroughly fixed in their
minds that they paid little atten,
tion to anything else but to gain
the point which they had set out tc
take.
