We had an un eventful trip across, and it seemed that uore sailors than soldiers were slMk the flirst three days. We had more eats than we could make away with. When we struck the shore we were glad to spy c mother earth and I don't think that a single soldier on hoard would swap his place with a sailor. I happened to be on the un loading detail and 'glt here In this French seaport I saw my flrst wooden shoes, uIt since then I have seen many a pair. The boys on the unloading detail were permitted to go out that night and wander over the city. Cafes were Iice grocery stores everywhere. When we went on board the ship that night we gave our names to one of the ship's ofilcer., and went down to our department. All the boys were around us wit it eager eyes a1.d open months.
