writes his parents from Hilgert,
Germany:
"We have been on the march
since November II. Passed thru
l.iixi iiihurg- a nice little country
lots of old ruins and line sccn
ry. L ft Luxemburg and eross
d the Moselle above Kseh.
March thru Trier. Trabach and
'oblelt. all fairly large towns,
'obleii. the best of the three. It
s a pretty city located on the
Rhine and Moselle. We are now
teross the Rhine in a village of
iboiit .'100. Saw some pretty good
sized boats on the thine, but not
man v on the Moselle. There arc
ill kinds of vineyards along the
river hank, anil many on steep
lillsidcs hardly see how they
ii t up to pick the graces. Saw
several old castles alonr the riv-
r. Have enjoyed the trip .very
niiicli, ami llie lirrman people
lave treated us well they know
they have to. We are now where
we could give them what they
ave the French and Belgians.
Think I will be home soon, as
we were among trie nrst over
u re. Was in the last drives in
the Argonne and against Sedan
two pretty rough battles, but not
overly heavv losses. About the
irdest battle we had was at So
issons. Have learned to speak
some French and expect to pick
up some German.
