Harries, of this city, have received from Top Ser geant James Taylor, Battery B, Sec ond Battalion, Trench Artillery, A. E. F., a close friend of their son, Serr geant Andrew H. Harriss, Jr., a most interesting letter from the "other side," indicating that the young men came safely through as the letter was dated Nov. ISth, seven days after the signing of the armistice. Sergeant Taylor is a New Yorker and lives on Rivereide Drive. He and Sergeant An drew Harriss became . bosom friends after joining the colors and Dr. and Mrs. Harriss were naturally delighted to hear from their son thrpugh him. Sergeant Taylor writes: "Dear Friends: "Meant to drop a few lines, much sooner, but kept putting it off, until I feel ashamed of myself and I trust you will forgive me for being so tardy; however, better late than never. To begin with the slave driving kai ser (pardon my French) has at last gotten his just dues and although it ended sooner than I expected, although I predicted it would he over this year, it is my belief that everybody is satis fled at the glorious ending, especially the French, who have suffered more than any of us and I surely feel hearti ly sorry for the ruin of eome of this beautiful country. You cannot im agine how this country has been de stroyed, unless you have seen it. No doubt Andrew had told you of our ex tensive travel through England and France o, therefore, I shall not bore you with that part of it. Believe me, dear friends, I surely am glad to have been one of the millions over here de fending our great country and I knew they could never have whipped the flag that has never touched the ground. We surely had some exciting times while at the front and we surely did bang away at the old Hun and for tunately we have not had a casualty due to Fritzs war Implements. We lost one boy who was accidentally shot and surely does seem a shame after all the rest of the boys came through O. K. , "We have had quite some experi ence. I believe after sleeping in some of the places that I have, I could sleep on a picket fence and think it was Andrew's twin bed; however, 1 would gladly go through it all again for the same cause. -Must say An drew was a very important boy at the front as he was our gas N. C. O., and it was surely some job, but although we got many false gas alarms, I am very glad to state we never had any real gas attacks. I did not mind Fritz shelling as long as he did not send us over any gas. Another thing I did not care much for was aeroplane bombing, because when they started to drop we did not know where they would land. One night we watched a German aeroplane hombing a town, but he was far away from us. Have seen some air battles which were very thrilling and often wished I had been up among them. Had a very narrow escape on Nov. 10th as a German avia tor opened up on some of us oh a road and he missed two other boys and my self by about twenty yards, but hit another fellow cbming. in the oppo site direction. I rendered first aid and he went to a hospital. Wound was not serious, but when I think that the armistice was signed the next day, it would have been rather unfortunate after going through so long. It is a day I shall never forget and shall al ways respect aeroplanes, especially enemy ones. Mother wrote and told me she had received a letter from Mrs. Harriss and was pleased to have re ceived it. In It mother states that the doctor and some of the children had been ill and I sincerely hope when this letter reaches you. they will have completely recovered. Read very much about the Spanish influenza epidemio and it must have been fearful. When I think of the deaths and sickness from it. I have often thought I was fortunate in being over here. Must say I have enjoyed excellent health while being overseas and I hope it con tinues, and Andrew is in excellent shape and a very busy man and has a new joh, ''Supply Sergeant" and if he does not supply me with some new clothing shortly I think I shall have to be forced to dissolve partnership in friendship. "Must close as I do not wish to bore you with this lengthy letter. "With best wishes for a very happy Xmas and bright New Year to all, be lieve me, most sincerely, JAMES TAYLOR. BAIVKS AND B. & L.
