HERBERT A. COKER HAS
LANDED.
The many friends in Winder of
Herbert Coker will learn with
much pleasure of his safe arrival
from Europe. He left with the
82nd and landed in France about
one year ago and was in the Ar
gonne forests during all of the
hard fighting of our brave and dar
ing soldiers.
Herbert was one of the fearless
ambulance drivers of those per
ilous days when our boys were be
ing killed by the thousands, and
went right in the thick of the fight
day afteer day, rescuing the
wounded and dying while the
shells and machine guns were do
ing their deadly work.
His many harrowing experien
ces give us, who were over here
and out of danger, some idea of
the horors of this terible war of
destruction and should make us
fee! grateful it ended as early as
it did. He had three ears put out
of service by being hit by shells,
but he came out unhurt and will
be at home today to meet hisfath
er and mother, loved ones and
friends.
Mr. J. R. Coker was a brave
confederate soldier and has lived
to see Herbert, his youngest son,
go through the biggest of all wars
and return home safe and sound.
This is a happy meeting for fath
er, mother and son and Mr. Coker
will have to refresh his memory
concerning the daring deeds of
the sixties or Herbert will have it
on him when they compare re
cords.
