WAR’S INNOCENT BYSTANDER HURT

we will ga again this afternoon, that is a very poor pastime, but that Is about all there Is to do, besides drink beer and the beer they have here is about like water, even worse than the 3.2 they had in the camps back in the states so you can imagine about how poor it is. I would sure love for you to see the many diff- | erent things here and how much they differ from the states. England is about forty years behind in everything, it is a very quaint place. There is an amusement park close that we spend lots of time in, sorta like the park in Indianapolis. (River- | Side) helps to pass away a lot of time. Darling you ask me if I was still | with any of the boys from Knox, Ves there are two of them here with me. Tancey and Hartman you remember Tancey used to work for Angel and Hartman was transfered from camp the same time I was, he is the one s that called you up in Penn, and lold you I was gone, remember?

It seems only yesterday we were walking through the streets of Greencastle in, the snow looking for the church doesn’t it?

Your ever Loving Husband. To -My (Darling Wife Somebody cares a lot tor you Wherever you go, whatever you da Cares if your troubled, ill or sad Cares if you're happy, well ajid glad, Somebody loves your voice, your' smile, The touch of your hand that makes life worth while; And someday perhaps as the years , roll on, You’ll look behind o’er the road we've gone, Then you'll discover, by and by, The someone caring so much was I.
