In his letter, Frank tells of beating the Germans in the Ar-gonne Ar-gonne as follows: "We have been fighting for weeks near the Argonne. Wo knocked hell out of four boche divisions, including two famous 'stormstrupper' divisions the Fifth Prussian Guard and the Fifty-second German division. The four were almost totally annihilated, and do not exist at the present time. We captured everything from a colonel to a rolling kitchen." Major Caffey also writes that he is duo for a leave and will make every effort to visit his brother and his many Utah friends at the training camp within a few days. |
