S. Navy Base no." o, Stjc-uCkl Leiih Scotland, December 18, 1918. Written to Lou. •G. Turner, Graham, N. C. Just a few lines from Bonuio Scotland, the land of fog and rain, girls and bum wine, to let you know that I am still in the land of the living, in the best of health and O. K' Landed in Portsmouth, Eng land, November 8, and was trans ferred to Southampton to await transportation to France to join a Marine Regiment. Was in that city when tlie glad news that the Kaiser had jumped ship came, and let me say right here that when it comes to celebrating, that these people win ** * We were the only Americans in the city at the time and you can just bet we were giv&n a good time and shown all the courtesies due to the Yan kee .fleet. Boy, it was great! ' Arrived in London jnst at the time that the celebrating was at its height. I know that you peo ple over there were glad when the news citiue, and did some cele brating, but there are uo words that can describe tho joy these people showed. Everywhore the streeto were crowded and it seem ed to me that all of Europe had gone mad and that every "Blith ering Limy" would have to bo put in a straight jacket until tho Kaiser took carbolic and finished himself. Speaking of London, that is some town. Of course, ou account of the war, there are some things in London as well as Paris that they are shy of jist now, but but there is one necossity that has failed to become exhausted as yet that is—Girls! - I thought that there were more in PaPis than there is water in the Atlantic, but London's got Paris tied to the flagpole when it conies to dames. These English queens are knock outs too; none of ttfcm would have to go hungry on account of not knowing book keeping. They've all got complexions iiko the lady on a massage cream can and more curves than a scenic railway. They have taken all the jobs that the men did while the men were away assassinating tho Hun, and do everything from tending bar to running munition plants. The only thing that they lack to make them as good look ing as our girls is "teeth" I haven't seen but three teeth in 'England (and they were in a show window.) We stopped at tho -Savoy flot el while we were there but as there was so much doing in the town, I didn't even go to my room. Wo went through the Piccadilly Cir cus on our way to the hotel, and I have never seen so inueh traffic without any one regulatiug it. Instead of turning to the right as we do in the states, they til.-n to the left. Tho cars are funny lit tle things and look as if they might have come from the toy department of some big store. The bodies are about toe size of one of these three shilling dinners, and wheels like tho washers on a sink. I could write a volume about the peculiarities of the city, so wont undertake it her;. Our next movo was to Edin burg, the finest city in the British Isles; and found tho ~s tine thing that we had seen every where else. The people all raving maniacs. The King and Queen, prince of Walfes and the rest of the royal family, including the, Ace, Jack, and teu visited tho city the same day that we arrived and you can imagine how he whs received, as this was histirst visit! to the city since 1914. Have been ou duty here a month now and have already had a seven day leave. There has not been enough work 'to do to even consider, as all the men that were sick or wounded "got well", just as soon as the glad news was ' received. As for myself, I have just re-1 turned from a seven day leave in the Highlands, where I visited tho most historical places in Scotland, including Sterling Castle, at t Sterling, Ilolly Roojl and the famous old Edinliorg Castle in this city; Craiginillar Castle at Larberl, John Knox's old home,' the reformer. Also visited Glas gow, Perth, Duinferline, Pilrigj and several smaller placet* iuclud-| ing Robt. Burns' hdnieat Allowsy Ayr, and the birth'place of Harry Lauder near Loch Lomond, where Scott found tho Lady of 1 he Lake. j Have had the pleasure of visit-, ing several of the German battle ships and submarines that are laying in this port. Was aboard tho U- Boats LT-70 and Ull-02. Their history and all their lliiu nisli deeds are po ted up inside so th.it nil who go aboird may see what they have done.
