NEWS OF OUR SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN

Somewhere in France. Dear Editor, Just received a few copies of the KVP, the first in nearly three months. It was swell to read the home town paper once more. Being stuck out here away from civilization one is bound to miss out on some things taking place at home, but once again the KVP came through. Things get a little tough over here now and then, but leave it to the Yanks to improve his ovm comfort in a fox hole. Its not as comfortable as that easy chair back home, but serves the purpose. Well its about time for a wink or two in a foxhole.l Well dear Eidtor send my best regards to all my pals in the service all over the world. Until then I remain, Cpl. Charles B. Calhoon.
