SULPHUR ROCK BOY
WRITES FROM FRANCE
S. D. Maxwell has received
the following interesting letter
from his son, Oliver Maxwell
who is with the American Ex
peditionary Forces at Mons,
France.
Dear father.—Will drop you
a few lines to day. I am well
and geting along fine. Still
working every night. Some
nights I don’t have to go out at
all and some nights I work till
2 to 4 a. m. but think most of
the rush is about over. I was
assigned to the 83rd Division
but they left us out. They went
to Brest. Got quarantined and
stayed there. They lost 200
out of 1200 from the flu. They
lost 50 out of the company 1
was in. I knew most of the
boys that were in the company.
I was with them about six
weeks. Most of them were
from New York. I haven’t
seen but two soldiers that I
knew at home. They were
Edgar Stewart and Little Wat
son. Saw Stewart Nov. 16 and
Watson Nov. 11. There have
not been many whites coming
thru here, but lots of negroes.
The 30th Division and the 37th
Division are coming in here
now. The 30th Division is bill
ed out next week. Guess we
may go back with the 37th
Divsion, but we can’t tell any
thing about it. Don’t think we
will leave here anyway before
next month.
we nave had an introduc
tion to French body lice or coo
ties. They sure do travel
around when they get on a fel
low.
I went through the mill Fri
day. Got new clothes out and
out; long pants too, they sure
look funny to us. Will be glad
when I get back in the States
and get back in civilian life.
Sure is tough around here.
Lots to drink—Apple Brandy,
wine, etc. Brandy about $5.00
a quart. I haven’t drank much
since I have been over here.
Sure is some cold today.
Three months today since we
landed over here and I haven’t
had my rifle in my hand since
New Year’s day. Don’t guess
I will get home in time to start
a crop, but guess I will get
there in time to lay one by.
How is everybody getting
along? Guess they are having
a good time. When all the
boys get home I think they
will know how to enjoy life.
We hear lots every day but
don’t know much, and I don’t
believe everthing I hear, at all.
Of course we didn’t get to the
front, but we didn’t sign up for
labor. They drafted us to
fight, but I have worked day
and night since I have been
here.
They have been looking for
40 days trying to locate our
mail, but 1 don’t think they are
looking at the right place, i
think the mail never has been
put on the boat.
Will close, love to all.
Your boy,
OLIVER MAXWELL,
