"It's nothing for us to got called up in the middle of the night, grab our guns and packs, start out on a hike till daylight, day-light, and then fight until dark. AA'hen we are, relieved, believe me, we are. sure ready for the hay. We don't know what real beds look like, but little things like that don't make us los any steep. It takes the old r"ar of the cannons to wake us up, and then sometimes even they fail to make enough noise. "Well. I can say thai I was sure in a great battle. We have just finished capturing cap-turing quite a number of the Germans, driving them out of the tuwns and making mak-ing a good victory for our division, as well ns holding up the reputation of the L. S. A." |
