Dear Diek: 3 Your letter of Dec. 30th received about three weeks ago. I would have wriften sooner, hut I had so many let: ters to answer, and, besides that, we moved to another camp about two weeks ago. 'Since then I have been (- pretty busy. s Our last move brought us very near the front. Here we are going ihrouzn an advaneed phase of our training Which is.not only interesting and es- sential to the battery but of service to the French. One night this week the effect of our Of course, it was.a.-8mall affair, but the rapidity with which the gun crews assembled and manned their pisces showed the commander that his bat- tery.-was not as green as thay may seem.” The French generai in com- mand of the division occupying this sector. sent down a word o praise.and thanks for the good work displayed that night by our battalion. On Telephone Squad. Being on the telephone squad, I have had eeveral opportunities to go out to the observation station, which is a short way back ofs the allled in- fantry' trenches. The first time I went out ‘there all was quiet, except for an occagfonal firing from & 75 battery at our rear, which sent a shell or two over to Mr. Boche every now and then. But the second day things were quite different. At about 3.30 in the morn- ing two detail corporals and myself were in a valley a short distance from the observation post to which we wera going.. The shells were bursting along the ridge of the hill\and on the oppo- site slope from where the observation Dpost was located. Fortunately fof us, the Boche held his fire until we were over the hill top and a quarter way down near a French observation trench, Tumbled Into Trench. Just as we reached there we heard three dull booms and in a few seconds the whistle of shells. Into the trench we went, fldt on out bellies and one on top of ‘the other. The shells burst: about a hundred yards away. It was | the first-time that I had heard a shell’ come whistling from the other fellow. | At practice they -were”always in the other difections. We got into the observation post ging in our new dugout for three holirs on account of the danger. The Ger-| mans combed the hillside to our left in search of a French battery, but their shells -harmlessly dug-the ground up. It was certainly lucky for us that they | did ot change their deflection a few miles! c 1t just happened that we walked.into it that day; but generally speaking, we_are pretty safe from shelling. Salute on :Washington’s Birthday. Tpday we' fired 21 shots over into Mz Boche'sterritory as a part of the program, but it also served as a salute in honor of George Washington's birthday. The last time the battery fired the salute it was with blank car- | Lrid‘es. but this time it was the real] stufl. 1 At_the gun position a_portion battery lives in a great cave which is a kilometer in length and capable of holding thousands of men and a great many horses. ).
