How a former Laurens girl and members of the Thirtieth (Division had a happy meeting In Le 'Mans, France, is told of in an interesting story car ried In The Anderson Daily Mail last week, the girl being Miss Ethel Nel son, sister of Mrs. Marion J. Simpson, of this city, who lived here with rer uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. S. G. McDaniel, before going to Anderson to become a trained nurse. Miss Nelson, in a letter to a friend at Anderson, tells of iuls happy experience, the clipping froma the Anderson paper being as fol lows: "How would you feel if you had been in the army for about 18 months, and had been on overseas service for near ly a year, and during that time had only seen thousands and thousands of khaki-clad soldiers, and then after the armistice was signed, be comparative ly loose, seeing lots of French wo men, pretty perhaps, but who could not get your line of chatter, and then, when you were almost in de apair, run across a real live, dyed in the wool, American girl and recog nize her as a lil'ole pal you'd known all 1your life from Anderson, S. C.? Oh, Boy, ain't it a g-r-a-n-d and g-l-o-r i-o-u-s feeling! "Such was the experience of a nuni ber of Anderson boys at Le Mans, where the 30th Division was station ed preparatory to embarkation, when they met 'Miss Ethel Nelson, former ly of Anderson but nov a member of the American Red Cross;. -Miss Nel son enlisted in the American Red Cross and sailed for France some time ago, and strange to relate one of her first stations was at a Chateau at Le Mans, and the troops among which she was at worf was her own 118th Infantry of the 30th (Division. "Miss Nelson Is just the sort of girl that the Anderson boys would like most to meet away off from home. She awas one of Anderson's most popular young ladies, known to a large part of the 118th Infantry, as "Bobby" a nickname adopted by her friends when she was in Anderson attending school. She went into training at Anderson county hospital and was a favorite while in training and developed into a splendid, com petent nurse, and had little difficulty in entering the service of the American Red Cross. "Miss Nelson, in a recent letter to Mlsa Zenobia Welch of this city, tells of her meeting w ith the 30th Division and of some of the boys whom she met on the streets of Le Mans and who visited her there. "Hor descriptions of the country and the people were extremely interest ing. "According to Miss Nelson's letter, the 3t0h Division had already pro ceeded to the port of debarkation to await sailing orders when her letter was written." * * O'LEO H ALENTiINE IJIUIIES. * * * * * * * ** * * .* ** * * ** Clee unilentine Hu tghies, dlaughlter of Mr'. and Mrs. John lienry Balent ine, enteredl the ptortals of the Celestial City TPh urisday, .1anuary 9thi just as the s un was sinking over the wester'n hii s.
