FROM T. W. CLAYTON
The following letter receiv
ed by Rev. Jerome Haralson,
of Grays, was written by his
nephew, T. W. Clayton who is
in a hospital somewhere in
France, having been wounded
in the first line trenches.
June 26, 1918.
My dear uncle Romie and
aunt Mettie:
How are both you dear old
folks today? I do hope you are
both well. Am heartily asham
ed of myself for not writing to
you before now, but ever since
1 ve been m France 1 nave been
so very busy, haven’t had time
to write very often. I Have
been able to write often to my
darling mother, God bless her,
wanted to let her know just
how I was fretting along.
Just now I am out of the fun
for a few weeks for about two
weeks ago I received two
wounds, very slight, in the hips
nothing serious however, but
nevertheless, the Fritz didn’t
do their job very well, so con
sequently, I will be back at
them in a short while and
harder than ever for now I
have a personal affair or score
to settle for the same shell that
hit me killed my best friend of
Marine corps days and so from
now on, I have one score in par
ticular. Was wounded while
doing duty as sentry on an out
post for we were expecting an
attack and the Germans put
over an awful fierce barrage
and as my friend and I were
without protection or cover
from the rain of shell and
shrapnel we could hardly
hope to live through it without
being hit, so unfortunately he
was killed and I was only hit,
but my old trusty rifle, the one
that was first issued me, was
torn up, torn all to pieces and
had it lying by my side at the
time too was wonderful.
Then to clap the climax, the
Germ'ans were afraid to come
over after us even after a day
and one half bombardment
and then a two hours barrage.
They sure had our range exact
ly for just two days before we
had taken that ground away
from them. They tried to re
take it by shell fire for they
had been taught a rather se
vere lesson by the Yanks and
didn’t want to get close to us.
My dear uncle Romie, I real
ly believe you would have en
joyed being there, for after all
you have been through you
know how it is.
It seems that the spirit gets
into a fellow’s blood and he
wants to go forward so proud
of his country and the cause
for which we are fighting,
i Have you read any accounts of
| the Marines over here? I think
j they can’t possibly be beat as
soldiers.
The Huns named us the
! “Devil Dogs” who never sur
I render but always fight. Isn’t
! that upholding the Marine rep
! utation? Our regiment, also
the 5th, the only Marines over
, here at that time, have been
cited twice for honors so you
see we are doing nicely with
our “bit” of war work. I im
| magine, my dear uncle, lots of
I times if this war is anything
like what you went through.
I’ll tell you what, I’ve had
some experiences since I‘ve
' been in France.
The hospital here although
a new one, is a very nice place.
The doctors are the best and
the nurses are the best and the
kindest ever.
So now I think I must close
as it is almost dinner time.
Write me sometime, uncle
Romie, for I’d love to hear
from you. So now goobye,
may God bless both of you and
our own loved ones at home.
Your affectionate nephew,
Tom.
