SPANION WRITES OF
EXPERIENCES AT CAMP COOY
Tells About Trenches About Ten Miles
Out From Camp Cody and Much
Other Interesting Information
f*
Dear Friend Mrs. Cameron: I
received your letter just a few
days ago. It was delayed in reach
ing me. You don't know how
good it is to hear from you folks
at home. I got your letter when
I wrs out at the trenches. That
sounds kind of funny, doesn't it?
About 10 miles out of camp they
have trenches the exact reproduc
tion of those in France, dugouts
and everything. I selpt in one
of them two nights and know
how it is. They are nothing but
a big hole dug in the ground 25
or 30 feet below the surface with
a big tunnel leading down to it.
You have heard the quotation
that this is the least romantic
war in history. If you could live
in the trenches a few days you
would believe those words more
readily. Of course, I don't mean
to say that what I have experi
enced is anywhere near what
one would go through over there
but I have a good idea of what it
is like now. The onlv thing lack
ing was the sound of the guns
and the flying bullets. The life
is as near like a rat in the hole
as could be imagined. The army
today you know is nothing more
than a huge working party at
those times when it is not actu
ally fighting., digging and repair
ing trenches, dugouts, etc., that
the enemy has destroyed by artil
lery shells, or making new ones.
Another interesting thing we
had when I was there this time
was a model gas attack. 1 am the
company gas officer, and got in
on the ground floor in the meth
ods and manner it was put
across. It was a reel one, soldiers
were in the trenches, and when
they saw the gas they'lost no
time getting into their trenches.
A real gas cloud is a terrible
looking thing, loaded down with
different kinds of death-dealing
gases—blue, green and yellow in
color, it rolls along over the
ground, slow and merciless, but
even so slow and sure to the en
emies' trenches. It is a canny
thing and terrible in its action
to the one who is a little slow in
downing his mask.
But I must try and answer
your letter. I like this army life
alright, but down
