THE EXPERIENCE OF
A SOLDIER IN FRANCE.
Following is a story of a
soldier which was composed
by Kittie Henard and read by
her at the closing exercises of
the Bullville Public School
a few weeks ago:
He was just twenty three
years old. He had dark
brown hair and eyes and a
large, but firm set mouth.
In the year of 1914 he
joined the U. S. army to take
up the fight for Democracy
against Autocracy.
On arriving in France, he
was sent directly to a train
i n g camp. There they
trained daily for three
months. They were then
sent to the trenches. The
first night it began to rain
and it rained continually for
three nights.
On the fourth night he
was put on guard. He was
exposed to the enemy from
the waist up. About twelve
o clock that night he heard
the tramping of feet. “Who
goes there?” he cried, in
French?. “A friend,” cried
the intruder, back in French.
Give the countersign,” yelled
he. The soldier gave the
countersign and was allowed
to pass on.
The next night he was i
sent with an Englishman on ;
patrol duty. The English- i
man took the lead and silently 1
on hands and knees, they
crawled toward the German
trenches. When they were
about half way, the Ameri
can wrhispered, “What do wTe
have to do?” The English
man stared at him, although
the American could not see
for it was pitch dark. “We,
said his companion, are here
to wratch for German spies,
and to watch the movements
of the enemy.” At the first
grey streak of dawn, they
crept back to the trench; got
a few hours of sleep, and
thus it continued for two or
three days.

One day about 2 o’clock
in the afternoon, the Germans
opened fire, it was returned
by the allies. Finally the
lieutenant ordered his com
pany to charge; with a fierce
yell, they leaped over the
trench and completely rioted
the Germans.
In 1917 he returned to
America to teach our boys
trench warfare, but will re
turn to France this year.
