Battery "B" News
(By Pvt. B. ('. Johnson aud
C<irp. Willard Perry. I
Battery B along with the rest
?f the units of the First' Army
stationed at Port Jackson will gel
? holiday Christmas, which will
last for ten days. The holiday
will start the L'lst of this month,
itnd all of the hoys of Battery B
will arrive in Louishurg and sur
rounding communities sometime
that day, except about fifteen who
have volunteered to slay here to
establish a garrison. Following
the announcment about the holi
day to the boys. Captain Green
said that he did noti want to be
bothered about boys returning to
the Fort during this period, and
finished up by saying that he was
sure oh at Corp. Darrell Perry
would not be guilty of doing this.
1 suppose some peculiar things
happen in the Army, but whoever
heard of aPvt. having a Corp. for
a secretary, well Corp. Seymore
was Pvt. Willard' Perry's until
Willard, betUM known to u*i as
"lied," was made a Corp. Both
of them have recently acquired a
new nickname of A. K. For a
definition of what A. K means,
you will Just lia^e to ask them.
During a cold Hnup not so long
ago our top Bgti., Sidney1 F. Holm
es received a vt?ry nice comfort
from "POLY ANNA", and the
postmark was Zebulon, N. C. He
says he does npt know such a per
son. information along these lines
will be appreciated.
Pvt. Buster Collins seems to be
having a little trouble with Ills
mail lately due to an unopened
letter, but maybe things will
straighten out by Christmas.
Those who have been writing t-he
boys should write as often as pos
sible. for you should see them
run to mail call, and the smile on j
their face when handed a letter or
postcard, hut it- is a different '
story for those who do not get
tiny.
The old Christinas spirit seems
to have descended on all the boys
in the past' tew days, especially a
Corp.. who is reported to have
purchased a piece of sparkling
jewelry, which most likely will
be a Christmas gift.
llere is something that appear
ed ill t lie liouistiui'g High School
