days and landed in Liverpool, where we

a rest camp. Then we took boat and
crossed the channel and landed in Havre.

eled several days and landed at St.
Armand. where we stayed six weeks or
| more, | don't remember exactly. From
there we went to Toul, where we STAYED
one night. and the next morning we
went on to an old Knocked down town
to repair the roads and get the artillery
up. That was Sept. II. the day of the
| big drive on the st. Alihiel front. You
should have seen those trains of motor
cars go by. For about five days and
nights they were as close as they could
be and run, and as far as YOU could see
there was nothing but those trucks NOV
| ing like a big black snake. After that
came the horses and wagons, and it was
a week before the train got by.
| have told you how muddy it is here
sometimes. The big guns got stuck in
the mud so it was up TO us to get them
on the way again. That took US about
a month Then we moved again and
built an ammunition dump and then went
