HUNDREDS OF COPIES VICTORY ALPHABET
HELLO, BROTHER Q. M.
Uncle Sam got mad, grabbed his
gun, beat the stuffin’ out of the Hun,
and cow they turn to the very man
who gave ’em hell for mercy.
That’s us all over. We walloped the
daylights out of the Base Hospital Q.
M. in everything you could shake a
stick at. We squashed them in Base
ball, beat ’em at the Parlor Game, out-
-witted ’em thru these pages—and now,
with their spine bent so badly it can
no longer stand the strain of Battle,
they have sent out the S. O'. S', sig
nal.
With the spirit of 1918, we come.
The M. S. D., seventeen in number,
has thrown aside all implements of
war and turned to Charity. We beat
’em to a frazzle and now we’re ready
to help save ’em. We have joined the
Q. M. C. and they are made. We have
lived through the Battle of Mecklen
burg County and the Battle of the Flu
and are now ready as full-fledged
brother Q. M[s, to carry the burden of
their battlb. 'The M. S. D., as a detach
ment, is no more. Long life to the Q.
M. C. But the spirit of the old M. S. D.
will now be visited on the New outfit.
Watch us now. Keep your eyes on the
Yaller-hat-crowd guys of the Base Hos
pital.

SOME HUNT.
Rumor has it that Sgt 1st Class
Earl Vickery and Pvt. 1st Class
Joseph Choate “enjoyed” a very fine
day’s hunting at the latter’s home in
Huntersville, N. C., recently. Few
hunting stories have been heard so
the success of the expedition remains
rather uncertain.
