Well Al before we got here I thought they would be so much fireing back and 4th up here that a man couldnāt hear themself think but I guess Jerry is saveing up for the big show though every little wile they try and locate our batterys and clean them out and once in so often 1 of our big guns replys but as Johnny Alcock says you couldnāt never accuse our artillrys from being to gabby and I guess we are lucky they are pretty near speechless as they might take a notion to fire short but any way a little wile ago 1 of our guns sent a big shell over and Johnny says what and the heāll can that be and I said its a shell from 1 of our guns and he says he thought they fired 1 yesterday.
Well as I say here we are with 10 days of it stareing us in the eye and the cuties for company and the only way we can get out of here ahead of time is on a stretcher and I wouldnāt mind that Al but as I say I want to be awake when my time comes because if I am going to get killed in this war I want to have some idear who done it.
