"This letter by the plan as observed by us of the American Armies In France, Is a special letter to "Dad", the first- commanding officer who ever placed us upon detail, the first to give us disciplinary training, the Jlrst to commute rations when on Liberty, for which we are now in uniform," writes Post Sergeant-Major Paul S. Jones, in a letter to his mother, Mrs. Mary Jones. "My father has answered muster by the High Command. Dad has accomplished the mission for which he was fitted, and nobly did he do bo. My feeble efforts are of no avail in building up a foundation such as Dad builded and sterling charter, his brotherhood, his untiring service to others, and so Mother Mine, you will receive this letter for Dad dedicated to him, sent his and my own . first and most devoted love. "Took my oath July 3, 1918, and was assigned to the Marine baracks, Quantico, Va. I am proud to have been a member of the Marines "The First to Fight. Last to Run, and blotters of the Hungry Hun." On September 16 I was advanced to first sergeant, Co. F, Eleventh Regiment, commanded by Colonel George Van Orden. We left the States about October 16, upon the U. S. S. Von Steuben which was once among the proud possessions of the Germans. The trip over was of diverse and conflicting degrees of experience for most of us. I, among many others, was ready at times to give up the ship, but it would not come up. After feeding the fishes, ( as we call a good case of S. S., we found It more pleasure to stand by the rail and watch for "Frltzy Boy." As far as subs were concerned, though, our trip was uneventful. "We arlved at Brest, France, on the 25th of October at evening, and disembarked on the morning of the 26th !for our temporary camp outside of ! Brest. Mud (now that should be i MUD) was intended for pots, retainiers, vases, dishes, etc., but the MUD iwe had was the original of Webster's. !As they say In Montana "glue to ! stick 'em, make 'em tight, hold 'em ! forever," and that is all that can be J said. I have never seen mud that j could get in your shirt collar, belt and jeven underclothes as that MUD could. ;I even had some of it In my blankets. I "After a few days at the camp, we were transfered to Camp Montierfchaume, where we are at this time, ; and from where I am in hopes of starting back home. "I believe we will return to peaceful pursuits, and our loved ones, wiser In the world's ways, broader on our brotherhood, and more appreciative of the wonderful democracy under which we live and which we serve." "Well, I'ye gone through this war all O. K. Have been In several different sectors,' says Corporal George Howard Glbbs, Company 14S U. S. Infantry. A. E. F. We were In the follow up of the great 'German Retreat' from Belgium, and I was one of th first Americans to go through one big town here. You ought to have seen the natives. They thought we were British at first, and when they learned we were Americans they wanted to hug and kiss us. When we objected to that they gave us cakeB and bread. i We were the first Allied soldiers they had seen for four years.
