He also met other people who were of q different opinion.
 While his wok in France during the latter months of his stay was in con- nection with the location ad the pf1e- tographing of individual graves he never lost the opportunity to have his car in which he travelled some 45,o00 miles well loaded with the creature comforts which the Knights of Co., lumbus distributed to the soldier workers and his visits to the various cemeteries were looked forward to with great joy by the men who were on duty at the various places.
