BARNEY BRADLEY IN
HOSPITAL IN FRANCE
Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Bradley, of De-
Soto, have just received a letter from
their son. B.L. Bradley, who is "Some
where in France." saying he was in
the hospital, having been shocked by
a shell. He said he was doing nice
ly and would soon be all right again.
The young man has been in France
only about two months. The news
was a great shock and surprise to
his parents, as it was not known he
was fighting. However they hope it
was nothing serious and he will soon
be himself again. He did not know
whether any- of his company was
killed or not, but surely hoped they
were saved and uninjured.
