 sailed from New York on the
 morning of July 6, 1918, and after II days out landed at Liverpool,
 England. From there we entrained
 for a camp named Winnell Downe,
 near Winchester, England. After a few days rest there we entrained again and sailed from, Winchester, England, across the channel, land fhg at Le Havre, France. From there we went to town in France
 by the name of Aubipierre. | After short time spent in train ing there we went into the trenches
 in Alsace, then a part of Germany, land got our first baptism under shell fire. We were in this sector some- thing over a month, known as the
 Geradiner sector in the Vosges
 Mountains. We left there, just when I don't remember, but after a short rest we started for another
 part of the front Our destination
 proved to be the Argonne-Meuse.
 We were in that sector from No vember 1 to II, when we started for Verdun. But before we got there the armistice was signed, and that put an end to active campaign
 ing, except hiking, which still kept good.
 We spent most of the winter in
 charming France, landed here in Pommern, Germany about May 4.
 This leaves me enjoying good health.
