"I received a letter from Marvin a short time ago.
"I presume my letters do not come very often, as a person
does not get much time to write here at the front. I try to get
a letter home about every week, if possible. There surely
has been some noise here at the front the past few weeks. I have
been at two different fronts now. When the artillery is sending
over a barrage it makes a terrific noise. We send the barrage
when the infantry is going over the top. There are lots of men
and horses killed and many wounded. I have seen many. The Huns
are going back on every front now. They are retreating all the
time and it keeps us moving to keep up with the infantry.
"I am writing this letter in a horse stable, where the
Germans kept their horses before we drove them back. Any place
is
good enough here at the front. I have seen lots of German
prisoners being taken back from the front. I can hear an air
raid a short distance from here now. Well, I must close. Lots
of Love."
