LENTS STATION, PORTLAND, OREGON, SEPTEMBER 26, 1918 MEN IN SERVICE WRITE OF? LIFE OVER THERE The following is a letter received l»y Mrs. Amy Kellogg, 6343 Ninetieth street, from her son, Alfred, who is in H. Q. Co., 148th F. A.: At the Front, August 9 — Dear Mother: All is well on the Western front except that there seems to be a real war. 1 am feeling fine and having the time of my life, so to speak. 1 haven't had any mail for some time but am looking forward to some soon. I am enclosing a piece of hand­ made lace, made in Belgium before the war and sold to me by a Bel­ gian refugee in Paris. Later—I was interrupted to re­ ceive the press news from Eiffel Tower, in Paris, and it is nothing but good news for us. The French have captured 401)0 prisoners today. I saw a bunch, captured by our In­ fantry today, as they passed on their way to the rear. One bunch of four men were aged 14, 16, 18, 19, which, seems to me, to be rather young for fighters. Oh, yes I 1 have been at the front a month and today 1 was issued my firearms. I had a rifle before, how­ ever, which some Infantryman left in a trench and which i salvaged. But now I think I can face a Deutchman without so many chills. We had a heavy barrage on our regiment today and it was so heavy that 1 thought there wouldn't be anything left, but there were only a few wounded. Being on the regi­ mental detail keeps me away from the batteries, however, and as the batteries are main objective of the Huns, 1 feel comparatively out of danger. I saw another Hun plane bite the dust today and only wish that it occurred more often. It is raining a lot most of the time on the front and we have one deuce of a time getting our truck over the rc-constritctcd roads. We will be going along fine and sud­ denly we go into a hole up to the hubs, and then it is all hands out and push. It is worth the trouble, however, when you consider that we have only moved, so far, in pursuit of the Huns. We moved into posi­ tion last night and for the first time were able to see land in the enemy’s hands. At 5 this morning the In­ fantry went over and now we can't see German territory. 1 received a bunch of Posts from Dad. and believe me, I never appre­ ciated magazines as much as I did them. Love to all. ALFRED. From James W York. IL S. Cummings, September 3, 1918—Dear Sister: This is to let you know that we arc receiving the Mt. Scott Herald regularly now, and erf- joy it very much. There are three of us on here that arc very much interested in the doings in and around Lents. Your paper sure fills the bill. We (my brother and I) are well and getting fat on the job. We have plenty of excitement along with our work. Just got through spending thirty days’ overhaul period in Eng­ land, and while there saw quite a bit of old Blighty. We found it quite interesting. But away behind the States in everything. I have been in touch with several Lents boys since I came over. I saw Ray Fairbanks and Emery Webb. • * Thanking you for past favoAi.
