Corporal Kirkpatrick Tells of Part
One Hundred and Tenth Regi
l ment Took in Six Day Fight.
' Amer Akin, a vre known Beaver
ton boy. writes the following letter from
France :
"W are now In an old position that
hu not been used for some time. The
U. 8. has relieved most of the French,
so I think there will be something doing !
soon. We live In deep dugouts inai are
Just about as safe aswe have ever seen
and the first time we have lived In them,
but It has been so wet that we are
glad to get shelter, it makes no differ
ence what kind it Is.
"We have been listening to the "music'
of Frlts's shells for a few days and we
have been quiet and not saying a word
and some of these fine days the tune
Will change.
- "We were out cleaning some German
sleeping powders this morning. We have
the most of the shells named.
"I have just found that someone has
placed two boxes of fuses under our bed,
but a-little thing like that will not
bother without we give It a kick while
' wo are having a nightmare.
"We saw a fine air battle this morn
ing. A German airplane came over and
got through the barrage that waa trying
to stop him. We were all watching him
when all of a sudden there came out of
the sky above him an allied machine.
Just like a flash he swooped down on the
German. They exchanged a few shots
nd then Mr. Frits turned his nose to
the earth and Just before he reached the
ground his machine caught on fire. He
fell about a mile from us but we could
not go over to see It I don't think there
waa anything left but ashes for we could
see the smoke for a long time.
"It Is quite a sight to see and very
exciting. Just like a ball' game. We all
yelled like wild men. But there are other
. times when the wrong man Is brought
down. It is only a chance after alL"
The following letter has been re
ceived from Corporal E. R. Kirkpatrick, i
On Hundred Tenth engineers, from a
rest barracks, somewhere in France.
"Was in a six-day battle. Our division
took the Prussian guards back a flying
and all they used, were machine guns
and artillery. My platoon was used as
' mine sweepers in the second wave. This
lasted for-the first day, then we worked
aa a regiment Sixteen of us were sep
arated for a day from the platoon and
we surly had some lively time of It
' Got away In machine gun fire and where
the tanks were. Our -company repaired
roads and bridges under heavy artillery
fire. Laid under the edge of a hill for
i two days with Frits trying to shell us
out, some lively. Won't tell of the sights
of the battle, too awful.
"We went out early Saturday morning
In the rain, and mud knee deep in
. places backing up the doughboys. From
here we advanced a half a mile and
laid under a hill In heavy artillery fire.
The doughboys were run out and were
falling back to the supports, as they
moved faster than the artillery could be
brought up, so we went 'over the top'
under heavy shell fire and dug two lines
.. of trenches. The infantry were more
' -- than glad to get into them and we
; stayed with them. Were in these
trenches two days and were altogether
five days and nights without any sleep
: nd with plenty of work, so we are about
all in now.
"I lost from 15 to 20 pounds as I. was
still soft after being in the hospital mo
long. We have had to use our gas masks
freely. Have hiked 60 kilometers since
I came out of the line and am now in
a tiny village resting."
Corporal Kirkpatrick was formerly
with the supply department of the O-W.
B.AN.
"Have been transferred from the tele- I
phone outfit to a radio section and like
It a lot better, says John Appiegate or
Toncalla in a letter to his mother, Mrs.
Laura Appiegate. "Am on reserve at
the front now, this being my second
time up. Was at the front about 30
days at the beginning of the big drive in
July and had some experience with al
most everything the Germans put out i
Including gas, machine guns, airplane i
bombs, and the big sheila Was in the
front line a couple of times before, but '
very seldom had to get that close with 1
. our radio outfit Have been having some
thrilling experiences. My station was
blown up three times In one week. A
sharp shooter tried to get me. but I am
all on the Job. I think I am good for
most anything that comes now espe
cially when Frits Is headed the other I
. way. I have about BO men In my section.
"We had peach pie for dinner today.
which is something unusual in the army.
Now, mother, you need not worry about
1 me bringing home a French girl, for in
' the last two months I haven't seen very
many of them. This part of the coun
try Is Just about as you say Toncalla is
, almost depopulated. Can t speak French j
very well yet Just enough to get some
thing to eat when we are where it can
be bought It is raining to beat the
band today and has been for several
days."
- "If am still with the big guns. I am
so clpse to one that It makes my head
hurt every time tney lire it says
George Merrill of Baker, now in the
medical department. One Hundred Sev-
enteenth engineers. "We heard this aft
ernoon that Germany had accepted Wil
son's terms and was retreating back to
their own boundary. Of course, they
were doing that any way and would have
' continued to do so against their will, so
they might Just as well retreat willingly
as It is cheaper. It is good news any-
way and I hope it la true. .
"You asked me how I lost my watch.
I had. It in a bag with a lot of other 1
things and as it waa too heavy to carry
X put it on a wagon and the Germans
sent over an artillery barrage and blew
np the wagon and everything on it I
wasn't very far from it at the time. " I
waa under heavy shell fire for about
three hours that night, but waa lucky
enough to come out without a scratch. I
didn't have any time to think about my
bag. All I was thinking of was where
the next shell was going to light
' "We lost one of our medical boys that
night He had one foot blown off and
the other one badly torn. I guess he is
back in the states now as the last II
heard ot him he was able to walk with
cratches and an artificial foot Out of I
80 medical men we have bad four
wounded, two gassed and none killed. I
