^ _ hear from you
•gain and 'to -know that you are well.
I nn well at tbia time and feeling good.
I am going to tall you when I joined the
Second, Division and some of the places
I bavagpftu and tome of the things I
have fcne through.
I joined this Division about the 20th
of October. They had just come oat
of the trenches and on October 26th
we rolled our packs and hiked 26 kil
ometers to the lines, then we stopped
In the woods. There we waited for or
ders. We could hear the guns on the
front line trencehes. There was where
I saw the Germans bring down-five or
•lx of . our observation balloons and also
airplanes.
On Nov. 2, Friday, we received heavy
marching orders to go to the support
of the 5th and Qth Marines and on
November 2,^ Saturday hiked 65 kilos to
e first lina'where we relieved the 42nd
ivlaion who had been holding the line
for fifteen days and could not make an
advance on account of the terrific mach-
ine-gun flfi. We dug in on No Man’s
Land at 1:30 a. m., November 3. A
heavy machine-gun fire and artillery
barrage started at 3 a. ro. and we went
over the top at 5:50 a m„ advanced a
kilometer and captured n city by the
name ot St. George and more prisoners
than we eould count.
On November 4th over the top at 0:45
a.m. driving the Huns. Captured sever
al small towns. November Otb, Wednes-
Friday, we
by and were
there for three days under heavy shell
fire where many of the boy* got killed.
jQn November 9th we hiked 12 kilos to a
day, 7, Thursday, and
marched to a woods
holes in which they would bathe them-
aelves but these were all open. Later,
they built little bouses over these holes,
rather just walls with no roof. Peo
ple, of course the lower class, cut holes in
these walls so as to expose the occupant,
but later there was a law for men to bathe
in the morning and women in the even
ing and if any man was seen on the
ground in the evening he was fined a good
sum.
But now it is quite different to fifty
years ago. There are many bath houses,
some built of wood, some of brick, con-
•rete or rock costing from $2,500 to
$200,000. The reservoir holds 2,000,000
gallons. A continual stream is flowing
into the reservoir ns well as flowing out,
furnishings 25,000 inhabitants besides
visitors.
The Hot Springs, forty-eight in number,
■e situated in the city of Hot Springs
•nr the center of the state of Arkansas,
fifty miles southwest of Little Rock. In
addition to the Hot Springs there are
many cold springs furnishing palatable
waters extensively used both in the treat
ment of diseases and for table use
It is believed that the earliest white
settlement was made about the year 1800.
Dunbar and Huuter, who visited the place
in December, 1804, found an open log
cabin and a few huts buiits of split boards
which had been erected by persona re
sorting to the springs in the hope of re
gaining their strength. Manuel Prud-
homtne built a cabin there in 1807 and
was joined the same year by John Perci-
ful and Isaac Cates More next week,

the Hun s on the run. There we dug
in, still under heavy shell fire and there
we were when the Armistice was signed.
We sure did build up some fire. It was
cold and frosty and we only had one
blanket. One of our boy s, whose
name was Patrick got killed by the lust
shell that came over. I was close to him
when he got killed. That was on the 11th
and on the 12th of November we started
our hiking. We hiked to a town on the
Meuse river and there we were put in
billets for the first time in .‘15 to
50 days. On Nov. 15 we hiked 5 kilos
to a town by the name of Staney and on
the 17th to Mout-Medy and rested up a
tiay. On the 19th hiked 21 kilos to
Ethe and on the 20 made another 24 kilos
to Frascn, Luxemburg. There we rested
a few days and were right behind the
German soldiers. When we got to Lux
emburg they were about two hours ahead
of us and on the 23rd we mude another
15 kilos to Heffingin, Luxemberg.
I do not remember what we did all of
the days but will tell you part of it.
December 1st, Sunday, hiked 32 1-2
kilometers and crossed the German bor
der at 11:20 a. m. There we billeted in
Clydeburg, Germany and on the 2nd hik
ed 18 kilos to Rollingin. On the 3rd hik
ed 118 kilos to Drnborn. There we rested
one day and on the fith we hiked 27 kilos,
the retreating Germans only half a day
ahead of ur, to Itackskyle and on the
7th took another 20 kilo hike and it
was raining hard to Rothenbach
On December 8th we hiked 33 kilos and
believe me, we boys were some tired.
Many of them had gone to the hospital.
On December 13th hiked 33 kilos and
crossed the Rhine. There we had a band
play for us as we went across the river.
We were the first to cross the Rhine
and crossed at a town by the name of
Wiederbicrbach. On the 14th we hiked
12 kilos to Sinzig and on the 10 hiked
15 kilos to Engors, our division area.
There we rested a day and on the 20th
we hiked 7 kilos to Vallender on the
Rhine, There we stnyed several
months and then wo moved to Humraer-
ich and 1 hope the next move will be back
home. %
A kilo is 5-8 of n mile and we hiked
somewhere about 500 kilos which is
about 250 miles. I made ail of them,
was never sick and my feet never
bothered rne much.
I have told you a part of my story;
coi^ld not remcirtber it all. We |Ore
getting enough to eat just now but I
have seen the days when I didn’t. I
have gone for two days without eating
oue bite, but that wag on the front Do
not think that we will be here much
longer. Think now, if nothing happens
I will be home in July \ then I will tell
you the rest of my story.
