KJ Mayet, France Feb. 21, 1919 Dear Mother:" I received yonr second letter that of the 23rd today.Have been looking for a letter for the last few days, and was surely glad to get it. Have been visiting every few days and hope you gef some of my letters. It has been raining here every day this week and is raining hard this af teroon. I think winter is over and the rainy season starting. They sure ly have plenty of rain in France. We have been here nearly a month now and should be moving soon, but there are rumors that we will be here for another month and that the 27, 29, 30, and 90 divisions are to go home before we do. Don't know whether it is true or not. My division, the 26th was suppos ed to be the first combat division back, as it was the first complete di vision over and was taken out of the lines for a rest after the Armistice was signed. In this way it escaped being part of the army of occupation. The 26th has been in nearly all the fighting and has lost lots of men. When we came in, it made the fourth time the losses in the artillery had been filled up. Well, time has passed very quickly here ? much quicker than in the oth er places. I suppose, because this is a larger town and because we have a "Y" canteen and K. of C. besides a lot of stores and cafes. It is also cleaner than the smaller towns>where the people don't seem to feel at home unless they have a big manure heap in front of the house. Over here the house and stable are in one building, so you can imagine the sweet aroma in places. - . , ? Well, I hope we are away from it soon. France is entirely different from the conception I had formed of it. \ .* -j v We were reviewed Wednesday by Pershing. We got up at 4 o'clock, and after eating hiked about 10 miles where^the entire division assembled; stood around until 11 o clock and then stood attention while he and his staff rode around the entire division. After that he inspected the entire thing on foot while we stood in line. It took several hours, and the stand ing with packs was awful; I saw several men drop. After the inspec tion we passed in review. It was a wonderful sight to see 30,000 men all marching in squads up the field and then go in line pass tlie general. We got back about 8 o'clock that night soaked to the skin, for it rain ed all day. Pershing doesn't look much like his picture. He is bigger and fleshier. Since then we have been resting, for it was certainly a hard day. Tomorrow we go in trucks to Le mans to see a foot ball game between our regiment and one of the infantry. I see from your letter that several of the boys are coming back, but, since I haven't received mail for so long, I don't know whether it was from France or some camps in the States. You don't know what a shock it was nor how sorry I was to hear of Harry, Russell and -Roy being killed. It seem to me little Highland has lost more than her share. ~ \ Well, everybody has to die some time and who could die a bettof death or for a nobler cause. Its a lot better than the way a lot of those d pro Germans back in High land will die.: Well, this is all I hSVe time taj write at present. Will write again in a few days. Wait until you hearv I am in the States for it is possible that we :nay have to stay here in France quite a while yet. With love to all, . Your son, Prvt Russell Waybright Bat. E. 101 Field Artillery A. E. F. France Germany, Mar. 3, 1919 Dear Mr. Editor: If you will spare me a small space in your columns I will try to give you a few items from Europe. On September 15, 1918, I left Camp Lee Va. for France and landed in Brest, France, Sept. 30, 1918. We boarded a troop train. I think we rode it three days and nights. Then we went through the Class Camp. At this place I was sent to a hospital with the flu and stayed eight days. From there I was sent to Montga Shoe, France. We again boarded a troop train and continued on the trip for four days and three nights and I joined the first divison of the Ameri can army, on or about the last of Oc tober we started to the front, which started the long hike into Germany; we hiked almost every day from that time "till the 14 th of December, when we landed in Ruppach, Germany, where I am now. Well, Germany is a right pretty country, but I venture to say I haven't seen no place in Eu rope that I like as well as old High land. German farmers don't have any fences. I haven't seen a fence since I came over here except barb wire entanglements. The German people work cows over here in place of horses. I guess they haven't the horse power to work, and this coun try is all built up in little towns. No farm houses out in the country, like they are in America. Well, in all my travels I haven't seen any of the Highland boys except Bill Dickson, I saw Bill somewhere near the Sedaa front, but can't remember the namf of the place. Probably Bill is on his way home^by now. ? There isn't any one here from Highland county, but nevertheless we are all good "buddies" and all be long to Uncle Sam; the best uncle that we have for he feeds, us, he clothes us, he leads us through the foreign countries and never does get lost. On our way down through Germany we saw some wonderful sights; lage vineyards of grapes, the hills so steep a squirrel could hardly climb, Lots of wine and lots of beer here. Plenty of snakes and Boo Coo gin, but haven't seen any American red eye at least. Mr. Editor, it has been a long time since I have seen one of the old Highland papers and I thought I would write you a small sketch. I wish all the dear readers good luck and good health. Will bring the Editor of the good old home paper a souvenir from Germany when I land back in the little town of Monterey, Va. Good luck to all. A. B. Clriffln 1st Div. Co. D. 28th Inf. A. E.
