INTERESTING LETTER 1
“Somewhere in France”
Sept. 25, 1918. i
Mr. W. A. Lindsey,
McCrory, Ark. i
Dear Mr. Lindsey: (
France is a beautiful place
when the sun shines, but it
doesn’t shine much here.
1 have waded mud and
water half knee deep for 20
days now. The last big
drive of the Americans, we
slept in mud day and night
what little we could sleep,
for the bullets and shrapnels
flying over us. Itwas a strain
on us as it was our first time
in a battle, but we made it
alright any how. When I
would lie down in a shell
bullets, it seemed I was upon
a mound, but so far I haven’t ,
gotten hurt yet.
It is a sight to see the
dead Germans lying along
the road and to trenches,
fhe first day I was a little <
nervous while so many can
nons and guns were shooting, i
jrL 11 soon wore off and we
didn’t mind it. We took
Pi’isioners by the hundreds
0Ll1' drst day. And to go into
s°me of their dugouts you
^ ou Id think you were in a :
Palace, they have pianos and
tnery luxury imaginable, i
^viHi they eat as good as we !
* r?,^cans do, almost.
ell I have traveled all
over Central, Eastern, West
ern and Northern France and
L haven’t seen anything that
would keep me over here
after this war is over. I
nust say they have some
pretty gardens and farms but
:hat is about all I can see.
The American people at
home have no conception of
;his war, as much as they
^ead and hear. I know I
"ead as much as any one
ibout France and every bat
he, but as soon as it was
inished, it had no farther
affect on my mind. But to
see what we see and have
seen is quite different. All
hey write in the papers is
true, but it doesn’t appeal
:o the minds of people at
iiome. But I am going to
make the best out of it I can.
We get plenty to eat all of
:he time and that is the main
thing over here. They say
war is Hell, but it is double
:hat when you are in war
and go hungry too. People
it home kicked because they
had to eat corn bread for
breakfast, I wish I could see
some any time, it would serve
is a desert to me.
Well I hope you people
have made good crops and
san save them, for it helps
:o win the war. I think we
will win next spring, if the
winter isn’t too bad so we
:an’t travel.
Must close, hoping to hear
from some of you people
some time.
Yours Truly,
ELMO MELTON.

Miss Beulah Anderson
passed through our town Sat
urday enroute to her brother’s
iome to train for a nurse.
Sam Rubottom hitched up
ais “joy wagon” Sunday
light, and carried a crowd
lown to hear Rev. Crenshaw
expound the gospel to the
Morris Grove folk.
DeView met at the Odd
Fellows’ Cemetery Tuesday
afternoon to bid farewell to
me of it’s best loved citizens,
Mr. J. E. Wright, who died
Monday night with typhoid
pneumonia.
Hearing that the Navy
3alled for volunteers, the
Messrs Tom Turner, Ned
McMurtry, Joe Wright and
Chester Wright left Monday
night, amid tears and such
phrases as “May there be no
madness of farewell when I
embark” to see about it.They
all arrived home Tuesday.
A lot of our young lolk
fathered “Somewhere in De
View” Sunday afternoon to
3njoy a good old fashioned
kodaking party. They got
an pretty well until it came
Willie Midgett’s time to be
snapped, then, as no picture
of Bill is complete unless it
includes his feet, the kodak
became hopelessly jammed.
