This is a dugout left by the Germans and is very comfortable. This Is some life and a fast one too, when we are chasing 'Heine. We like it and I never Knew i was so Dig ana tne woria so small when 'Heine' turned lose on you. When we stop we dig our little hole to protect us from shrapnel and It seems as good as 'Home, Sweet Home.'

This old dugout, for instance, don't suppose he ever dreamed that four American doughboys would be sleeping in it. One consolation, he will hold it no more. But we have him on the run and will soon finish him. We see some fine air battles here and have seen several Bochs meet their 'Waterloo.' 'Wat-erloo.' They make an attempt to fly over our lines and drop some eggs, but it don't 'last long for he finds it safer for him behind their own lints. Much love to you and the children." chil-dren." BERT. |
