Well we was kidding back and fourth about it today and one of the smart alex in our Co. a bird named Johnny Alcock that is always trying to kid somebody all the time he said to me “Well I suppose they will half to build more tonnages to carry all the meddles you will win back to the states.” So I said “Well I guess I will win as many of them as you will win.” That shut him up for a wile but finely he says “You have got enough chest to wear a whole junk shop on it.” So I said “Well I am not the baby that can’t win them.” So he says “If you ever happen to be snooping around the bosh trenchs when Fritz climbs over the top you will come back so fast that the Kaiser will want to know who was that speed merchant that led the charge and decorate you with a iron cross.” So I said “I will decorate you right in the eye one of these days.” So he had to shut up and all the other boys give him the laugh.
