From A Soldier Boy in
France
December 31st,
1918
Dear Editor:
Will you spare a corner of your paper for a few lines from a
Jackson county boy?
I have just received the Journal and of course was glad to
see the home news. Have been over here almost six months and have been enjoying
life most of the time. It has been much better since the war has closed. This is
a nice country, but I will take the old U.S.A. for mine. It is hard to
understand the language over here, but we get by, just the same.
Guess nearly everybody has heard of the Wildcat Division. I
am glad to say I am one of those cats.
We are located in a small village near the front. The house
in which we are now staying is made of rock. It sure is a treat to us, as I
haven’t seen the sun but about one time in six weeks. We have one small room
and have seven in the family so you can see we have plenty of company. All we
think of is jokes on some of the boys.
Dillard Coward said the army was all right but guard duty
wasn’t any fun when it is raining.
Hope we can soon be back home with you all.
With best wishes to all, from
A Soldier Boy
