Chester and has been doing duty in foreign waters for over six months. He relates some of his experiences during the period when the German submarines were a men- ace in Atlantic waters. ‘‘Sheerness, England, “Dec. 1918, “U. 8. 8. Chester. “Dear Mother:—Well, here goes to say that all is well and hoping that all are well at home. Did Harold get wounded again on Oct. 22 or 23?7 I saw his name in the casualty lists in two or three different papers but the last word that I had from him was dated September 21, but not a word since. I have sent two letters to both Orville and Harold but as yet have re- ceived no answer. You most likely saw in the papers about the H. M. S. Britannia being sunk in the Straits of Gibraltar. Well, our ship relieved her at sea just two day's before she was sunk. She was our last convoy from Gibraltar to Plymouth, England. This locality is where we did mosa of our work, usually making two trips a month. “We left Provincetown, morning, August and was at sea for just a ning by ourselves. We hit the Azores Mass., on 26, 1917, week run- on Sunday one week later than the day we set sail and stayed there ex- actly three davs. 1 got five or six hours shore Jeave here. After our tim was up we returned to our ship and left the Azores on Wednesday morning and got into Gibraitar Sat- urday morning. I have surely climbed the rock all over a number of times, belleve me. “A vear ago last October we were in Milford Haven, Wales, and it was there that I made my trip to London and the second trip the 22nd of March. We then sailed to Brest, France, last July and it was there where 1 met Ida’'s hubby, Ensign Jos- eph Kamineki, and another New Brit- ain fellow. ‘“‘Scheerness is about two hours’ ride from London or about 52 miles. It is the entrance to the Thames river. We are leaving here about next Thursday and where we are going I don't know. I hear some talk about going to the Kiel canal. Well, old Kaiser Bill got his full share of fight- ing all right believe me, for there was no retreat for those Yanks. I have met some Australians that the Yanks relieved and they told that when the Doughboys went over the top they just cleaned up everything and got what they went after. They also stat- ed that they never saw any army put up such a stiff fight as our boys did. “Oh yes, we have run-ins with One night, September 5, I had the 12-t0o-4 a. m. watch and we en- countered three submarines and we us cleaned up two out of the three of dropped two depth charges and that was the last of number one. Then we ran right over number two and drop- ped two more charges and she was done for. Number three was missing altogether. That is only one of the many attacks that I have witnessed. Well, I must close, hoping to be with you in a couple of months, love to all. “Your loving son, Successful Church Social.
