saws that in all accident he and q num-
Der Of companions were pinned under
one Of the trucks and for some hours
I he was unconscious and was taken to
| the base hospital. This accounts for
| the report sent here by Captain Seifert
who wrote that he had heard Theodore
was IN the hospital train ahead Of his.
Teddy speaks Of his injury without go
ing into detail to any great extent and
/ left the impression that he is now in
! good shape again and regrets only that
he was not able to accompany his regi-
ment which is one Of the army of occu-
patton.
Walter Hose has written to friends
] here that he suffered an injury which
will keep him in bed for several weeks
but he expected to be sent back from
France shortly with number Of other
disabled men. He has not Informed
his parents of his injury so it is pre-
sumed that he expects full and complete
recovery.
Joseph A. Lang Of Springfield who is
with the boys at Camp Dodge, Ia, says
! that they will be mustered out soon he
thinks and he will be home for Christ
mas, no doubt: He writes he likes
| camp life very much but that they have
to get up rather earlier than they like.
| They get up at 80 each morning for
an examination against the influenza
and he says that quite number of his
company are in the hospital.
George Grunert writes from France
to William Lampl, his brother-in-law:
II am still alive and the Germans
didn't get me but I went thru lots of
shell firing and gas but got away pretty
good. One evening thot it was cur
last day on earth. We were out on the
road and they (the Germans) started
firing and believe me they flew some.
thot not man would be left in the
company but we didn't lose one. On
! November and we made big drive.
We liked two days to catch up with the
Germans. The AID Division relieved us
go we went back after the third day of
hiking and then we heard the news that
Germany had signed the armistice
That sure cheered up the boys.
"We are waiting every day for news
of going home. I'd like to be back for
Christmas or New Year. hope every
one is well. l didn't get any mail since
I'm over here but lam still waiting.
November 20
I'VE have nice weather the last couple
OF days but it is pretty cold. I don't
suppose I'll get any mail now as we are
travelling for the sea port One Of the
men at the Y. NJ c. A. told me that
we were to be home for Christmas.
We travelled about 400 miles on the
train southwest now and hiked % kilo.
It is little warmer than where we were.
We have not had our pay vet but
the pay roll was signed last Sunday and
then we get passes too. | don't care
for any, the only pass care about is for
the United States, and that is what
most of the boys say

Dear mother:
! II am getting along fine, except I
got wounded little yesterday. l got
piece of shell on top of my head,
but the helmet got it worse than /

We went over the top at five o'clock

mans back and captured lots Of pris-

got. got two myself. One was an
officer. We advanced fourteen kilo-
meters up to 1870 p. m. That was
the time got hit, but l don't know
how much further they. got.
