I took part in ‘irst drive the Americans made st the Germans, that was the Ugny Drive. Cantigny is in the nee of Picardy, 25 miles from ty of Amiens and 4 miles from edidier, “It was occupied by ans and they had the advan- on us as the town is on a high Nand they could see every move © tiade on the flat below them. 5 to say they made life pretty ble for us, every time our men out to fix lines they would el them, they kept sending gas *r every night. 1 got badly gassed ‘his place—lost my voice for 10 We finally decided the only » remedy things was to get on the hill ourselves. So we went ‘et the top one beautiful morning. ‘Pharently they did not expect us t didn’t fire a shot until we almost on top of them and then Were too late to do us much We captured 500 prisoners ‘around town, some in old “ch wine cellars, some in dugouts. cre all scared to death. We sunter attacked eight times in urs and how I escaped from be- Ned Edo not know. «I was right thick of it. The concussion shells was knocking me ‘ost unconscious. The divis- Fi, clone to, by the way, is the Division (Regular Army.) : igny we went to Sois- Chateau Thierry and in * We had the 26th and 2nd * on our left and 42nd Divis- Jj tur right. ‘The drive started 7 and Was the one that started 6 s on their howeward journey. uw Division was cited as one of De: tell you of in the the Hun two of the best fighting divisions in that drive. The sights I saw at that time will | always stay with me. There were | dead soldiers laying everywhere. Ger- man dugouts which were 40 and 6( fect under ground were chuck full o: dead; Germans of course, I didn’ mind so much about them. I felt I} could joyfully chop them up. We went thru miles of wheat fields. Wheat sown by the Germans on| French territory; they expected a big | har in the autumn, but their} plans didn’t work out. We lost about 30 per cent of our | men in wounded, killed and missing. | We were relieved at Soissons by a| Seotch division principally composed of Highland Kilted Regiments, and believe me the Huns know they are in for a licking the day they go over the top. We left for the Beaumont front which is near Nancy, July rested up for two months. took part in the St. Mihiel Drive; it was very tame—more like a field maneuver. The only casualty we had was two men killed and about half a dozen wounded in the whole of the division. The barage we put over before going over the top knock- ed all of the German batteries out of commission. It started in at 1) a, m. in the morning and kept it up until day break. We had guns shoot- ing into Metz, others shooting into the German strong points, but the} majority were pounding on the Ger-| mans in the trenches we wen over the top. Out batteries) kept the barrage a going so as to| hold the Germans in their dugouts | until we got within a few feet~of) their trenches, then we raised the) barrage and all the Germans came) out and surrendered. In two days we captured 17,000 prisoners. We captured horses and wagons galore. Locomotives, railroad cars and rolling | Deeds of Natrona County.

The infan- try battalion I was attached to was the first to get to the German rail head, (supply depot.) Among the many things we found was six big jars of whiskey. We were not allow- ed to touch it in ease the Germans might have put some deadly poison in it. From the St. Mihiel drive our di- vision went to the Argonne, close to Verdun, While waiting in re- | serve I was ordered to the Officers’ Training School. I got my commis- sion six weeks later; the day the ar- mistice was signed. I have lost many a night’s sleep and went for days with very little to eat. I have slept in shell holes, bomb holes and every other place imaginable. I was sleeping in an old chateau far behind the lines last August. A bomb from an enemy air- plane dropped on the center of it, wiping half of it completely off the * map, leaving the room I slept in intact. Lots of the plaster fell on top of me, but I wasn’t hurt any. The destruction enemy bombs and shells has wrought in France is in- describable. Big thriving towns in pre-war times are now a mass of ruins, I am glad President Wilson is! coming over; he can see for himself what the Germans have done to France. The French people, Angus, are a fine race of people. They are ex- tremely polite and well mannered. The longer I am with them the bet- ter I like them. I am not in any particular hurty to go back to the States, and when I do go I am in hopes of returning and passing a pleasant time in Paris, i Paris is one of those places that cannot be described. It is a wonder- ful place; we have nothing like it in the States. T am expecting to get to Scotland and enjoy Xmas at the old home. Transportation facilities will be much improved by that timé—at present it takes me about five days to get to London. T haven’t heard whether my outfit has been sold or not. I haven't ro- ceived mail for two months, f trust you will look after my interest until { return. I am in hopes my outfit has been sold. I have no desire to run sheep any more. Did you ever get the pipes I sent you? [ trust this letter finds you and wife and Zella in the very «best of health. I wish all three of you a jolly Xmas and a very happy and prosper- ous New Year, Your loving friend, ALEX. | Address: Lieut. A. McPherson Signal Corps, A. P. O, 5 Amer. Exp. Force, France. -eut.
