' Dear Shelby:- t Well do I know that this letter will c be a surprise to the family, of course I have been thinking of writing to '1 you but as a fellow invariably does, I kept putting it off for another time. ( Now that the Censor regulation are F rescinded I am allowed to tell you what ever j may fe-s so disposed to. v Of course you would have liked very c much to hive been in the game with t the rest of us. It was great sport I. even as dangerous as it was. You never gave it..a' thought as to how r dangerous an undertaking you were t going into. Some times a fellow would run into an incident that would t make him feel awful funny. Can't I say that I was ever really scg red; i but many are the times when I had I a lonesome feeling, as best I can de scribe it, caused from not :knowing whether you would ever get- back to I tell the tale or not. One never felt scared but he felt as if the whole 1 world had deserted him. It is a feel ing that cannot be described, all you I can say is that you have had that feeling at some time or other, that i is if ydu were in the war and not in the S. O. S. From the first (lay the Americans took over the Fronts, January 18th, 1919, to the signing of the A"'nistice, we sure were kept busy. F--om one front to another. On January 18th, the fighting first took over the front known as the Lorraine Sector and there we stayed until April 3rd. Of course there was not much doing in this Sector as the Boch and French had as it seemed an agreement among themselves not to fire at each other. But before we left there they knew that things were going to change. From the Lorraine we went to the Montdidier Sector, which was only a short distance from the ground that the English were holding and the same place where the Germans made their June push, that looked as if they were going to reach Paris. The gro'tnd that we took over in the Montdidier Sector was known as the Cantigny fortification, it was at this , place that the Americans made their first offensive, and very successfu, it was. It w%., a town that the French had bee., trying to regain for two years. On the morning of May 28th, the Americans went over the "top," at the break of (lay. For the next two (lays the Americans repulsed twelve counter attacks made by the Germans trying to regain the lost ground. And it was here that the Germans first realized that the con temptible American Army could really fight. For not one inch of the grround was ever gained back by the Germans. Every time they made a counter attack they were repulsed with heavy losses and routed in dis order. From Montdidier we went to Sois sons where we pulled the Soisson's drive from July 18-23rd. Soissons is just to the West of Chateau Thierry, where the Germans made their last futile attempt to reach Paris. The Germans were driving at Soissons when we sailed in with four divisions of Americans and turned the tables. This sure was some battle. Anyone who did not see it would not believe that the Americans had three-inch field pieces lined hub to hub across the wheat field, only about three thousand yards from the infantry, and directly behind them, about two thousand yards were six-inch field nieces lined hub to hub. From the battery positions one could see the infantry in motion as they went for wvardl. These field pieces wvouki b" adlvancedl as fast as the infantry woul gain ground. All around the positions one could see (lead Dutch men laying on the groundl that the A mericans had crossed. From th'is drive to the end the Americans (lid not let the Germans have one day of rest. At night the whole sky would be in a solid flame from the discharge of the guns. It woul look as if the whole sky was on fire. From Soissons we next went to Mont Sec, the strong fortification where the French lost forty thousan I men in a (lay, trying to canture this hill from the Germans. They' cap tured Mont See in 19141 and hel it for two hours, and the result was that it cost them forty thousand men, then they fell back and it has been in the Germans handis until the A nmericans came along on the 11th of September. There wvas a birage put over by sixteen hundre'l guns, (each gun firing eivhty shots every nminute'. This barage started at 5:30 a. m. on th? morning of the 11th, and latst'ed until 11 a. im. the same dayi. So you can raiyeewythe Ger It is impossible' for the human mind t~o yraspi the truth of the above state meat, hut when a fellow sees a thin' he can rome time' believe' it. If I should tell you some of the things that rea:lly hann('end, you couild not really believe them for they are' be yon'l believing. IFrom Monat Sec we then went to the A rgo;nne Fore'st, whliich was the hardes place t he Amneie-o''s fonna toroute the G;ermans. When we ndissedl over thIiis groundl, thy' whole field and country was p:oughed up by the e~xplosion of the she(lls s'ont over' to the IIutns. To look at it it seemedl imp~ossible for (een a mouse to have survivedl in this place.

The explosion of the hells was. so thick . that every wire as cut in two. There was guns as bick as bees for five kilometers back f the: front line fighting, and they tretched as far as the fronts ran. 'his barage lasted from Septenber 0th to November 11th, when the ermans finally gave .up. This sure as been some war. When the Amer sans get- back to the States, they 'ill be branded as the biggest bunch f liars that ever was collected to ether, but still some of them will e telling the truth, and probably the treater part of them will. One will ot have to tell a lie to tell some hir that sounds like a lie. What are you doing for yourself hose days, are you farming? And ow is everything around old Mann ng these days? Are any of the boys rom home being mustered out yet? 7e will be in Germany until next Phanksgiving or even later, so says general Pershing. That sure sounds wf;ul bad for us too, not to he able o get back to America until then.
