Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters to the Bridgeport Comfort Club From the Foreign Chapter in France
Then someone said that we were to get a dollar for each regular drill night, but 1 guess we are like Heinie, we have something coming to us, but anyway we don't need it as our Mas just sent us one hundred real American dollars. Next our orders came that we should report at the Armory, ready to move at a minute's notice. Well, we were there, suit cases, hand bags, and all, every one excited, but we had a chance to cool oft for we did not leave for three days, then down to dear old Niantic we go, more squads east and squads west, hung around a month or two, each day trying to follow Lieut. Sprague or Lieut. Nagle out in the country for a few miles with packs on our backs and saying it was a tough war. And to think we had a big shower bath, a canteen and Social Center that was a Red Cross and Salvation Hut all in one, but we didn't know it then. The folks used to come up tosee us and bring homemade Cake and Pie. Oh boy, we realize now 'twas sure a tough war, not even a mosquito bite say noth ing of cooties.
