The Masic &Pfcot House gtantoa Rowell, lYefriefr SOLDIER LETTERS American Aviation Detachment A. P. O. 7J8, France, Not. S. 1918. Dear Folks at Home: I have received two letters from home since my last letter to you. Now I may have a little watt again as I have a new address which I give above and which you should use In the future. Although we were first ordered to my former address tor training, (I say we, 'because I have made several friends among some of the boys who have come from other squadrons and are now with me on the same status) on account of the many of ficers who are now arriving there from the states for finishing train ing. The school is now .crowded, hence we were sent to this French school of aviation for preliminary flying training. The French name and address of this school is on the back of the envelope. Chateauroux is the name of the town nearest here. It Is in central France. You will easily find it on the map. A few Americans are trained here on French machines and under French monitors, (pilot Instructors.) I will probably begin tomorrow. I arrived here last Thursday even ing. Friday was a French holiday, the same as our Memorial day, so we were all allowed to go to town. The French were out in crowds, especi ally . the women. They have some sort of services or ceremonies and then they carefully decorate all the soldiers' graves, the same as we do. As I have mentioned before, they have very beautiful cemeteries at all times, and especially so on that day. The French are all in great spirits now as they expect a speedy end of the war, and I am inclined to agree with them. But, nobody is letting up yet, because we cannot afford to take a chance until we have won a complete victory. I believe I am going to like this place of training. Will tell you more about it next week. Love to an. OLIVER. OLIVER MORTON, . Aero Service, A. P. O. 738, France. All kinds of Commercial Prlnttnr at the Courier Office. Legal 'Blanks at the Courier.
