Heard that the French had lost 3 million men and that in the winter of 1915 sixty men were found frozen to death in one line of trenches; and at present they haven’t enough men to guard the front and keep a few men at different posts and change them at night to fool the Germans.
The 26th and some of the 16th went in on October 15. They went in at night, and when the Germans came out to look for the French there was the Stars and Stripes. What a surprise.
Some men from the Swiss front came in on autos and told us some of their experiences. They belong to the Artillery Train.
