August 28, 1918.
'Dear Mother, and the others:—
I received Myrtle's letter .Yes
terday saying that the papers stat
ed that the unit to which I belong
had been on the firing line. So r
don't see that it Is any harm to
verity that statement., lor 1 am
sure that the ttocnes nave learned
it also—to the!.' sorrow. The boys
were eager to get at him ana they
went '"over the top" with a will.
Being an Observer, it was my jub
to stay behind on some higii Hjioi
and see and report on how they
am it. Well "Jerry" evacuated, bui
very unlike the Arab, he didn't do
ft quietly for (ailing all over him
seli in goin£, neither did hJ take
time to told his tent. Sometime .li
ter, one of our fellows who wasn't
getting enough excitement siidrtca
out across '"Wo Man's Land" al
ter dark, in search of game. When
on stepping into the German trench,
he met an officer, some Colonel, or
something, coming out of a dug
out, in which were several more
laughing and having a good time.
The '"Sammle" gave this on- on
the outside about four inches o.
bayonet Just where we all store our
"bully beef" presented the others
with his regards in the form of
throwing two or three ignited liana
grenades into the dugout, and then
strolled back across '!;fo Man #
Land," as the English say, "The
blootfy Yanks" fhlnk no more of it
than being at a blooming "Tea
Party."
Next is an experience of my own,
tho' not so blood-thirsty ana'thrill
ing. I was on a mission, some
time ago, when it became dark and
I lost my way.- As I was riding
a motorcycle it was not lonj be
fore I was a good way off m.V
route. It was one of thesa dark,
misty nights, the kind when owls
wear glasses; and I was on a
strange road. Look out! I'm nenr
ing the climax. Although I was
riding slow to try to get m.v bear
ings, "'Jerry" appeared at this
stage of the comedy, In the form of
a traffic cop. He dropped a she!'
in the side of the road Just ahead
of me, tearing down « tree nerosc
the road to bar my wa.v. There is
where I fooled him to » certain
extent, for I was too close to stO|,
in time to keep from hitting thai
tree, so he stopped the motor, but
not me—until a few yards further
on. I wasnt hurt one bit, but
after I had picked myself up and
pushed that broken motorcycle a
mile up the road to a first aid
station, I told the man in charge
that I was Just about the sickesf
person he had seen in this war. Af
ter an examination my ailment was
found to be, being lost and tired
of riding strange roads * mid
night. The cure was hot coffee, an J
a bunk till morning. Here this
episode ends—l found my way.
Dont take these things to heart,
for while they are true, and such
happenings occur often; Websterii
Vest Pocket.is an aid to elabora
. stion.
With love for all, I'll stop and go
