We pay the express ; Dear Mick: You will undoubtedly be surprised | | to hear from me at this late hour but | nevertheless I have-often thought of u but neglected writing. It has en rather difficult to write during the last two months as we have been | continually on the move, andvhaven’t ;teecived a scratch of mail since Au-! ; gust 16th. In regard to my soldiering experi- ences, they have been very varied. I served in four different branch-| jes of the service and am now in my| | eighth company. | Our division, the 33rd, has been in the line ever since September. Was} the Argonne Forest, Forges Wood. somme, Dead Man's Hill and later on Metz. We} were in the front line November 11.} {and 1 was sure glad to be there. That, jevening was a great night. The U. ;S. Fourth ot July celebrations had {nothing on the flares and rockets sent {up along the front. But this was aj mere imitation compared to the bil- \lion-dollar barrage we slipped over on them at the Argonne front. But those exacting days are over now, and we can smoke a cigarette at night without having it hid in a toma- to can, can stick your head out of a dugout without having a whizz-bang fired directly at your bean.and can eat a-can of ggldfish without having to put on your ds m.sk about ten times. But thege pleasures are mere trifles compared to our being able to take an honest-to-goodness bath and wage war on our friends the cooties; and believe me the first time I launched an at- jtack on them they sure had to send reinforcements to hold their positions at all, and much was my amazement when I discovered clothes under my uniform, that I had accused my friends of stealing nearly three months ago I ha¥e been over the greater part of France and around quite alittle m England, and if present rumors are true, we will see quite a litle more of Europe by parading through’ the larger cities. It is also reported that our division and the Rainbow will be among the first to return home, but that’s too good to be true. You will sure smile when you learn that last week I was transferred to the band. I told them I couldn’t car- ry a tune across the street in an air tight bucket without either losing fi or breaking it, but they accepted me regardless of my inferiority as a mu- 'sician. Well I will have to discontinue this lengthy manuscript as I hear mess- call, and you can’t afford to miss the slum-gullion stew, as every time we move they save a meal on us atid until lately we have moved twice a day.
