Somewhere in France?

October Ist, 1917. Dear Folks at Home: I tell you this is awful over here, to see the poor devils all shot to pieces, to hear their groans and cries, but you never hear one complaint, they are too game for that. I get awful homesick at times and the other day when I read a letter from Granville Aldrich saying that since he had his teeth removed he had been unable to eat popcorn, but he had a sack of Butter-Kist corn from Jack Montgomery and every kernel dissolved in his mouth, I felt worse yet. When I read that I just cried and you bet I would like to be in old Jack’s place just long enough to grab a sack. Buy a Liberty Bond and help give the Kaiser H Lovingly, JOE. Adv.
