    Very cold and raining. The same trouble.

  • Monday, July 8, 1918

    Rain and cold, very discouraging, but we did our best. The cover came down several times and we got wet but that is all in war.

    Went to church but did not stay long as we could not understand. It was a poor church. It was a very pretty day and we had our place under the tree.

    Had a great time taking down the tent and getting ready to move and was very busy but got through and went to dinner. Had a fine dinner with the Maj. Then we went for a farewell walk and enjoyed ourselves very much. We were told that we would not leave till the 6th so all we could do was rest up. On Friday we left for our new place.

    Came in the Capt.’s car, and we sure did enjoy the fine ride. We got to the dirty French village, and it was hard after our last wonderful camp. The next day we put up a tarpaulin and had a real good place.

    Some fine day, cold and plenty of noise. All ready to go. We put our things together again and were at alert, ready to leave.

    A good day. Col. B. came and we had meeting; it was fine. We had a very good day; lots of fun and airplanes and noise. Many of the boys from the dear old 18th came to see us and it was a treat.

    A very heavy day. I made donuts in the outside kitchen, and it was great fun to see the boys carrying them away red hot, just out of the fat. They would get a twig and string the donuts on. It was great fun. Went to the show at night and it was great.

    A good sunny day but heavy shelling. The G.I. cans keep coming. Saw some planes.

  • Tuesday, June 11, 1918

    A very fine day but heavy firing all day. The Americans made a big advance today. An airplane was captured by the Germans and they shelled some men at a rail head who were getting supplies in trucks, or camions as the French call them. It was a bad day but God was good.

    Made fudge for one of the boys as it was his birthday. He was seventeen years old, he was very young in his ways. So many of our boys have gone West. God help their loved ones. The hut was crowded all day, the men writing letters, playing games, and reading books. It was fine to be here. It rained all day; thank God for the rain as less damage is done then. A very heavy firing is on now. Saw more planes than ever today.
