4 ALUMNI NOTES (Continued from page 3) tell you and the Board how much an Alumnus in France appreciates it. It gives information concerning several of my classmates and other friends of the college of whom I was anxious to hear. "Well, we finished our job over here for Old Man Humanity a little ahead of schedule —eh? We were so worn and tired from chasing the Huns north of Argonne that we were hardly in a condition to fully appre ciate the meaning of the armistice when it came. However, we are glad it's over and shall be glad when the time conies to start back across the Atlantic. "I expect to go to Paris in a week or so and study philosophy, litera ture, and history until our division sails. "In early November I was recom mended by my commanding olficers for a commission in the Chemical Warfare Service and on the 9th and lOtli passed examination for same, but the armistice on lltli stopped all further commissions; so I was 'out of luck' for the 'bare.' "Hoping that you and Guilford will have a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I remain , "Your friend, "iiaray Carroll." Shields Cameron has also been in the heart of things, judging from this letter, written soon after the armistice was signea: "November 21, 1918. "Dear Professor: Contrary to all my good intentions I have not writ ten you till now since coming over here. Now however that the war is over, I, along with a good many oth er members of the A. E. F. are wri ting a good many of those letters that we never had time to write while the big scrap was on. I have not had any news from Guilford since school opened, but I trust you have full dormitories and everything is going along nicely. I guess you missed Professors Woosley and Bal derston a great deal at the first of the year. I was told that the for mer's company was just across the valley from me when we were mov ing up to the Argonne forest o the drive northwest of Verdun. I was thinking of taking a run thru the barrage the Dutchmen were throw ing over on the road between us to see him, but just about that time the order came in for us to move up or do something of the sort and I did not go. I have never been able to find Sherley White or hear anything from him since he was in the big drive at Chateau Thierry. I am afraid he was hurt there, altho I have no definite information. It was in the Chateau Thierry salient that I had my baptism of fire too. They sent us in there about the first of August. We had a couple of weeks fighting and then were pulled out for a couple weeks' rest at San court. From there by a series of night marches we moved up to the Saint Mihiel salient where on the morning of Sept. 12th, after about three nights of the most grueling work getting our guns and ammuni tion in position that I have had in this war, we helped send over the barrage that paved the way for our doughboys to take the salient. From there we moved back into Le Forest dee Cinq Freres for a brief rest. From there we pulled out on Sept. 22nd, 9 p. m., for that hill where the French poilus in the early part j ■ J. M.

We were in po sition in the valley between Dead Man's Hill and Hill 304 when the j big drive started at 5:30 a. m. Sept. 26. Next day at 2 p. m. we were in position probably 2 0 kilometers nearer Beriln pounding away at the Dutchman again. They were doing the same thing to us too. They even came over and bombed us. The lat ter has more ot a mental effect than physical. You never know where the things are going to hit. We soon moved up from that position to one above Septsarges on the edge of the Argonne Forest. There we stayed until the relief came up some time about the first of November. As you know some time the eleventh of the eleventh day of the aforemen tioned eleventh month Herr Fritz Hienie Boche held up his hands and yelled 'Kamerad' and so the wax ended and now several million sol diers have no 'raison di etre.'
