Mrs. E J. Williams,
Hereford. Texas. V
Dear Mother:
You have asked at> several times!
what 1 have done over here, well!
here goes, as you know the Bat- j
tery left New Mexico in September [
and weut to North Carolina and
in October we went to Camp Mills,
in New York. In December we
went to Camp Merrill. N. J. well |
on the 24th of December we start-
ed over seaN on a White Star liner
named S. S. Lapland on January
7th. We landed in Liverpool.
England, and then we went to
Wiucheater. England, where we
were in a rent camp for a few
days and we went to South Hamp-
ton. Eugland. and crowned the
English channel on a stock boat. J
We landed in U Havre. France,
on January 12th and stayed in a|
rest eamp there for two days then
we loaded on a French train ot j
i box cars, forty men to the car. and j
' started across to Bordeaux in
| Bordeaux we went to camp I>e- j
Souge. There we were transfei-j
I red from light to heavy inotorixed )
artillery. we drew four bigj
j guns. 155 centimeters on the
I French G. P. F. We also drew
white 3 ton trucks 25 ton Kemoit
tractors which to draw the gun*;
with. There I was made a truck!
to Germany. On the 1st day of
January 1919 we ffmud the
Ehine river here at Beodarf where
we are stationed and moved to
AUhuch where we were stationed
until we mo veil down here on
April the 23rd. Now you know
what I did on the front. I wasn 't
a hero and I won't come home
wearing two or three D. S. C'a.
and several wound stripes but 1
will come with the kiiowl?djp- thai
t have done my bit in this war.
You know I have had two birth-
days in France, ( was in training
my eighteenth, and 1 am still sat 1a-
fied after my nineteeth just pass-
ed. 1 will also be glad that T went
out a volunteer and would ga
again just as quick for the same
reason. I have three service
stripes and may have another as
the order for us to get resdy to
sail was cancelled. I can't say
how long we will be here. |>ut it
will he until after peace is signed
at any rate. We all want to go
home, but where we are needed
that's where we want to he and
we are needed here. Those short
sighted fellows that wouldn't go
ha ve lost a chance to help make
the world a safe place to live in
for it will he no joke that the A.
F. F will control the ballot when
once more they put on "civilians."
I.ova to all. write soon.
Your son.

ough besides the mud and rain we
found the roads full of shell holes
arid shells falling pretty fast, w*

You've all seen the famous Battle Tank and are familiar with the
Crawler type construction which played such an important part in the
