This cir four days, and the day we left it cular explains the best methods was snowing and the sea was ' in use especially the brine meth- rather rough. About thee hours after leaving, there was an aw ful time with sea sickness. There were more than 150 sol diers sick. We did not have the best accommodation, nor did we have very much to eat. There were too many on Board although there was no one to put the blame on except the one who had charge of tho mess. The Commanding Officer improved conditions by making a complete change and put the mess in charge of an American Officer. Our boat arrived at Glascow, Scotland the last day of January. It was the most beautiful scen ery I have ever seen, coming up the Clyde river, it is about 30 miles from the mouth of the Clyde to Glascow. From there we took the train for Winchester, where we stayed for two days. From there to La Hans, and this is where I contracted scarlet fever. I remained in camp for 10 days, and in the meantime my organization left for Mailly, but at that I knew not where they had gone. After 10 days, I was released from the Camp and joined a Casual Company which was sent to St. Annyon, where the 4lst Division was at that time. This Division was being used as a replacement Division. I was held there un til about the 2nd of March when 1300 of us were sent to the 42nd Division. We arrived at Tune ville on March 4th. There we were assorted and sent to differ ent Regiments. The most of them being used as replacements for Infantry. Those who had had more than 3 years experi ence in Artillery were sent to the 150th F. A. No one knew what was hap pening, everyone was held ignor ant as to what was coming off. All of us were under the impres sion that we were being sent to rejoin the Former Organization, but when they told us what was ?oing to liapi'f n, there were some sweani.i.. some c. jii.g, some j prayii-g hik) everyone was after an avs'tmn-t. It wos of no use I it was orders so therefore we! had to make the best of it. I was trienuiess, no tobacco and no place to buy any. This was an occasion that I had to ask one of the Y. M. C. A., huts for a fav - or. but it is something you very seldom see in France is the "Y" giving away anything. I advise you to beware of funds donated, do not give anything to them for I do not think they deserve it. I was sent to Dnmball 8 miles from Tuneville. Domball was the place where Regt.

LOCAL WORKER GIVEN PRAISE The day before Christmas the Superintendent had a letter from Mrs. Fred Peck, chairman, and Mrs. Will Taylor, committee from Roanoke Rapids Chapter, O. E. S enclosing a check for $500.00 the Chapter's Christmas dona tion, in which was included a gift of $100 by Mr. S. F. Patter son a prominent citizen of Roa noke Rapids. Mrs. Teck informs us that a quantity of canned veg etables and fruit will be sent as soon as the canvass is complet ed. Of the donation she says: "The people of Roanoke Rapids have surely opened their hearts to the Orphanage at this time." -Orphan's Friend. sent to 2nd Battalion with sev eral other men. On this front we stayed for 95 days expecting our Battalion. Made one change and then we were sent to Tuneville to assist in laying a Barrage but we were there only a short while. We returned to our old position in June and began to move but did not know just where we were going, as in those davs you could not say where you would be to-morrow. Next move was to Chalons and from there we went to a camp about 8 miles out of this City, being held there in Reserve. In July we took up position just out of Suippe in the Champagne Sector. Everything appeared to be quiet But at one minute to 12 on the night of July 14th it was dark and cloudy. Af ter thebattle began you could pick a pin off the ground and this was the time when the Americans began to show the Germans that they were not the only ones that could hght. 1 his continued until next morning when the Germans came over they were receiving as much as they were giving, The American Infantry was in the 2nd line trenches, and when they made their big rush they came to the 2nd line, but when i they found the Americans were j was a different story. They were ! driven back to the 1st line and beyond a i kilometer. After this was settled, although there is a lot more to the story, we moved to Chateau Thierry and from there to St Mihell.
