knows Barton Draper and Percy Phoenix. He went to Davis Farm School the same time they did. We have been feeding a good deal better the last week or so. The Chaplain gets a Commissary supply in every week and sells it to us. So I have been getting quite a bit of sweets lately.

I wish they would hurry up and sign up the peace terms and then maybe we will come home.

Have been in the service a year now and will rate another service trip in the last of May.

Well I hope this finds you all well. Your son, Albert.

comfortable in blouses so we fall out in O.D. Shirts most of the time. Tuesday June 10 we had orders to roll up our heavy marching orders & believe me they were heavy and we shoved off the whole Battallion and hiked about fifteen kilometers from here up pretty near the neutral zone. We had our chow and rested up a couple of hours and returned to Kurtscheid a mighty tired bunch. It had some of us a guessing. We didn't know whether we would come back or not. The Heinies all tho't we were leaving for good too I guess. Guess they were disappointed when they seen us coming back. Friday we had another maneuver with live ammunition and artillery. Will send you some pictures of the maneuver if I can get them. The boy that was with me at Aix Les Bains in the picture is only about 19 years old. Ask Barton Draper if he remembers Thomas who attended Davis Farm School.

He is our Company barber and said he knew Barton & Perry Phoenix well. Tell him I may see him before many more years if I dont die of old age before
