Omaha daily bee. (Omaha [Neb.]) 187?-1922, 1919-05-08

while the fighting was the hardest,
they handled as high as 500 or 600
cases daily.
Among the boys who returned on
the early train, one of the happiest
was Sergt. Charles R. Connolly. son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Connolly OF
The Bee. He was me- at the sta
ton gates by his parents, showered
with kisses and then carried bodily
to a waiting automobile and whisked
away to his home, where he sat
down to real beafsteak dinner, the
first that he had eaten since leaving
Omaha. Young Connolly was a
member of the Nebraska Dandy
Sixth regiment, and prior to going
into the hospital unit served under
Captain Metcalfe.
. AS the man got off the train they
were quickly surrounded by a
chosen few. Pvt. G. McNamar was
nearly smothered by his beautiful
little wife, his cousin, Mrs. S. w.
Spratlen, and his sister, Mrs. r. E.
Buchtel. Louis Connolly. son of
Mr.. and Mrs. c. r. Connolly, was
greeted by his mother and father,
his sister Frances, and group OF
friends that were no relation what
ever.
Glad to See Nurse.
Every man in the second section
was jubilant as only returning SOL
diers can be, when the train pulleG
in at midnight. Every man was
glad, of course, to feel himself
bound round by the arm of mother
and of wife or sweetheart, but every
man there seemed every bit as hap
py to see Miss Josephine Chamber
lain, a nurse, who fought shoulder
to shoulder with them to nurse back
to health wounded heroes in France.
Pm going to kiss an army nurse,
if it's the last thing on earth / do"

arms around the astounded Miss
Chamberlain. Miss Chamberlain's
neck became rigid, her eyes bulgcd,
her hands started up, an awkward
pause, and it was all over. All the
others were brim full of JOY at see
ing Miss Chamberlain again.
Miss Chamberlain returned to
Omaha several weeks ago, having
left the hospital company at their
point of embarkation.
IF it weren't for Miss Chamber
