Blarch 14, and arrived over here at Brest the 26th. After a four mile hike, we arrived at one of Napoleoirs old prison camps. Here we remained one day, and helped to unload boats. As l came over with the casuals, we started out in search of the Battery. The Battery was located at Camp Coetquidon, an American training camp. NVC' left Camp Coetquidon June 8th, and arrived in Bedford, June IOlll, and marched to our Battery headquarters. June Ilfll we went to the front and took up our first position. This position was a quiet sector, and people lived right in the village where we stayed. NVe were there thirty-eight days and the Germans fired two shells back at us, but we fired a lot more than that at them. July 2ISf we landed at Bedford, and after a time we landed at Cha- teu Thierry. Our division at this front chased the Germans 18 kilometers and the helds were covered with dead, but mostly Germans. From here we marched to Soissons and this was a tougher place than Chateau Thierry. VVe were here ten days. Then we got on the train and went to VVassey. From there we went to our third and last front, Argonne Forest. VVe were there forty-three days, got relieved November 5th, and on the Ilfll the armistice was signed, and l guess it's all over now. But don't expect us home too soon as in the war you never can tell what welre go- ing to do nevtf' Mflur Racine Lwnits belong to the splendid ldliirty-Second Division which since the close or the fighting. has been made a part of the grim otjflccupation. ,Ji tee gf, fo p,A,4fy ffl, nrzm fnzfff'1'1zav nw' ffXf7l't'flfll lmfmf ,my 1,011,- -lfffiifniv,
