Boys Of the Ardmore Engineers
Write Some Interesting Letters
Roy HOLMAN of Engineers

Among other letters received was
one from Roy HOLMAN, f Company
lllth Engineers to his sister. Miss
Vivian McKinzie. Writ.
Dear Sister; Your letter of Nov.
y received yesterday. dec. l0) !
am sure you all did have a big cele-
bration when the armistice was
signed. Everything was quiet with
us, we had been hearing so many
rumors and had no way of getting
the straight OF things, we hardly be-
lieyed it for four or five days. And
then, after we did find it true, de-
cided it was too late to celebrate.
I'VE are all glad it is over though,
and glad to get back where we don't
have to dodge big shells and where
we can lay aside our gas masks and
steel helmets. | am sure | will never
forget how those big shells sounded,
singing through the air and the ex-
plosions when they hit the ground.
remember one day we wecr up be-
atween the infantry and artillery re-
pairing the road so the artillery
could move up and Fritz began to
shell us. Down in the valley we're
some Frcnchmen in wagons. A big
shell hit one wagon, center, and
take it from me there wasn't enough
OF that wagon lett to kindle a fire.
OF course, the man and horses we're
killed.
81 didn't mind the shells so much.
but | certainly disliked dealings with
the aeroplanes. They generally came
over us at night when we were
asleep. One night | was sleeping in
our small shelter (pup) tent, and
one OF Fritz's gasoline pigeons came
over and began dropping bombs.
Well, ! will admit ! was a little
nervous for there were no dugouts.
so just had to stay where | was and
take what came.
"When we first went up on the
Nerdun front we were eating supper
one night and somehow the Germans
located us. They tried to see if they
could break up our mess line-they
did-after the second shell | think
everyone was in a trench or dugout.
They shelled us for a few minutes
and then stopped. We all got out of
the trenches and they started shoot
ing again. We stayed there all night.
| got cold about 10 O'Clock and
asked permission to get my blankets
1--WE were hallway up a hill) several
81 the others followed and il a shell
had caught us, guess blankets
would have been scattered all over
that hill.
We had many exciting times. all
OF which ! will tell you about when
! get home-Iour loving brother

Sergeant Hunters Homecoming
will be Saddened with the knowledge
that his sister, Jewel, died during
his absence.
The Ardmoreitc has been re-
queSted to publish the following,
contributed by a friend of Miss /
Hunter:
In Memory of Jewel Hunter.
Tuesday morning, Dec 81 1918, the
Angel OF Death knocked at the home
Of Mr.. and Mrs. II. W. Hunter and
touched the sweet spirit of their
dear child, and she now rests in her
silent tomb, free from all pain, she
sleeps in clasp OF clay.
Jewel was only sick few short
hours and her death was a shock to
her many friends. The best of med
ical skill was summoned to her aid
and loving hands of father and
mother ministered to her every want. |
but she quietly sank to rest, sur
rounded by her grief-stricken loved
ones.
For nearly ten years she had lived
among us, and we shall always love
and cherish her memory, for we
knew her in all her girliSh beauty,
and our human hearts cry out:
Why, o, why, was this lovely !

Following is the poem written by
llorseshoer Lutterell which his par
ents haze given the title of Com
pany + in Flanders"
Co. E in Flanders.
You have builded well, oh builder
Your ships have weathered the
gale
They have performed their every
duty
And not a rent in their sail.
AT the front in stormy Flanders
Where the cannon roared and
doomed
Or on the wild stormy ocean
Where many a vessel was doomed.
Again, oh master builder,
| say you have builded well
For you put men across the ocean
That sent German kultur to hell.
Oh build you a ship now, builder,
That will ride the dashing waves
And float the star spangled banner
In honor OF our brave.
One that tells OF mighty nation
That lies across the sea,
That speaks for true democracy
That all men may be free.
SO LET us give three cheers lads
For the good old U. S. 4.
We are going back to our country
And were going back to stay.
But We won't forget the noble lads
Who in France will always stay
The boys that stopped the German
drive
And died in the roaring fray.
With a grim smile on their faces
And their rifles flaming hot
They thought not of their danger
But all leaped over the top.
Before they had covered the distance
Their fire made the enemy reel
And then when least expected
They charged with cold steel.
Sleep on, oh lads of the 4. L. F.
- we know that you died game
10 those at home you all are dear
You have made a glorious name.
In the years to come when words
recall
Past days OF the bloody strife
Wen think OF you, oh noble lads
That gave for us your life.
So when YOU reach the pearly gates
AS you so to the City of Rest
Your passport will be headed
"a soldier OF the A. L. f."
