Dear Well, Dad, we sure have had some time with those bodies, but it is all over now. My first experiences of warfare were down in Alsace-Lofaine early last spring and I tell you those big shells sure put the fear into me for awhile, but 'you soon get used to things like that. When the war ended I was up in the front and am still stationed near Verdun in a dugout, but 1 am living is hopes that we will soon leave foi the good old U. S. A.

Spillman, former mechanic arts instructor at Davis High will undoubtedly be of much interest to students of the schooL Through the courtesy of Mrs. John W. Gailey we are enabled to print this, interesting letter. France, December 11, 1918. Dear Gailey Household: Well, here is old fessor sitting on his bunk in France trying to be comfortable. I left the tSates the night I sent you my last letter, November 12, and flailed for Liverpool, England. We Were eleven days on the Atlantic and that was enough. It was all very at first, but after the first few days it very monotonous. had six meals a day on the boat three down and three up. I was not flea sick though only a little for a couple of days. Prom Liverpool we went by rail to Winchester to a rest camp, where we tayed one day and then moved to We became un-tea- dy Southampton, where we stayed a day. Prom there we crossed the Channel to Le Havre, France, and by rail to where I am now. Our ride through England wasby daylight and tt is, indeed, a very pretty country. - The people aU seemed so happy at prospects of peace and the young girls - came to the windows to kiss the soldiers but not me. No doubt I saw some of the very places Mr. Gailey d Frank have traveled through. Our trip from Le Havre to Blois Was made in a box car, which had a n on the door Hommes 40, Che-va8, which means 40 me or S horses capacity. We rode 'in these for 26 hours and 24 of those 26 were pianksgiving day. Thanksgiving da!? la a box car for a fessor how different from last Thanksgiving at the - Gailey house.

It is close to the city and we are free each evening until 9:30. There are some interesting trips near here, and I have 'taken nearly all of them in.

My feet have not been dry for a month. This is a rest camp for wounded men and they pass in and out all the time. The weather here is not cold but we never see the sun. I walk through mud here that in civilian life I would walk a mile to avoid. - The big question now with all the boy is: When do we go home? The shipping of troops home has already begun in a limited degree and in a month they will b& going by thousands. And then comes the question to each fellow: What am I going to I have already do when I get back? deceided upon my lot and can you imagine what it is? .1 am going back to Utah.
