FROM OUR SOLDIERS
A Letter From Camp Wmdswortlf
To Friends in Randolph:
I have been thinking I would write
again for some time but we boys in
the army don't have much time for
writing as we spend most of our time
preparing ourselves to be ready to do
our part toward licking the Huns when
we get across.
I am liking camp and army life fine
and I think it should be quite a pleas
ure to any one to be here where there
are so many who are ready to go and
take the Hun or give their lives if nec
essary that we may have freedom and
that our country may again enjoy the
good freedom that we are going to
have.
I feel that every true American
should be proud to be in this United
States army and all that have boys or
' friends in the army should be proud of
them, for they are going to be the
greatest and are the greatest men of
today. They are sacrificing many
things and are going through much
hardship, but we don't mind that for
when we go out at morning so many in
number that we can't all see the end
of the line and the band begins to play
the Star Spangled Banner it just
makes us want to go right on and get
into the real fight because there are so
many that it just makes the other fel
low feel like he should be in the march
too.
We are all in good health and Uncle
Sam is feeding us well and taking
good care of us in every way.
Guess this will be my last opportun
ity to write while in South Carolina as
we are going out Tuesday morning the
3rd, quite a number of us. Don't know
where we are going but know we will
be on our way to get the Hun and we
don't believe it will be long when all
of us can come back home and enjoy
the good things at home again. 1 of
ten think of the many friends in Ran
dolph and wonder just how they are
getting along.
We were very glad to have with us
here in camp Saturday night, August
31, father and brother, J. C. and Clar
ence C. Ridge, of Randolph. It did Uh
good to have them with us.
Don't know when 1 will have another
opportunity to write but as we go we
go doing our duty and we are going
trusting our personal saviour who we
know is able to deliver us out of this
great strife and if we see this war
ended or if we don't we feel at liberty
that we have done what we should do.
I wish to ask the good people of Ran
dolph, and not only of Randolph, but
everywhere, that we all may soon see
this great strife ended and that all
may again be at home and as we go
back through the good old state of
North Carolina we shall think of the
many friends and the good people
mere anu ii worn, De long wnen we win
be back sounding the cheers of the Red
White and Blue.
With much love, I tell you good bye.
we are going to lick the Huns. Will
write again some time, but can't say
where it will be from.
