ED WALTERS, husband of Mrs. Dorothy Stutts Wal ters, in which he writes: “I’m sure there are a good many PC’uns near me, but we are too busy with the Jerries to go visiting. I can’t under stand why they don’t go on and give up so we can all go home. I just can’t | understand this war. For example, 1 one day not too long agd, we were 1 going into a certain town and the ' prisoners started piling up and I had ! to help guard them. Before the night I was over there were 26 of them. One { was badly wounded and asked me I for water. I found some brandy and with the help of an English-speaking Jerry,,.I gave the wounded boy a drink. Then I gave the English- i speaking German a drink. Guess what he did? He drank a toast to I my health!
