A year ago Topeka people were re-
ceiving those printed type cards filled
in with a name and a regiment that
brought to them a certain relief and
at the same time a greater dread. And
the papers were full of Mr.. and Mrs.
So and So have received word that
their son has arrived safely overseas.
The perilous voyage was over but 1t
meant they were that much nearer
the front and active service.
And now every day some new vic
torious son" arrives in this country
and the papers are printing the news
that the happy sea trip is over and
that home is almost in reach. Twelve
months can do great things.

Gently are Sergt. A. r. Enfield who is
