T-am sendirg you a map cf the MihiM drive, the dotted lines where we smarted, end the . heavy line iai.a heavy, some French Naval g;:is'l'J and IS inches, all of them opened up at one o'clock, and kept up the bombardment until five in the morning, when they lifted the ha; rage and "Over the ,top" we went. The Germans had held the trenches since the beginning of the fnone of his moments flit where we slopped, and I want to say we did not stop because we could not go any farther, but be caiife we had orders not to go far ther then. I believe we could have taken them to I.Ietz, the ".way we had them' going. We were three days making the drive, we had told around we were going to make the drive on the ICth, but pulled it off cu the ISth, and this surprised the helnle3. We hiked about 5 miles the night before In the rain, and went Into the trenehes at about midnight- at Breassette; we had some good artillery behind us, the 151 Minnesota light, the 150, lad- wcr, and that was to he an active frr-n!. There was a large hill two miles from the line on the German side. It was called Jit. Sunk, the French tried to take the hill in iy.r. they twk the hill and held it twenty minutes, and lost 35,000, ar.d then felt back. Tbat di! not sound right, to. us, but the French toll it themselves for-an absolute fact. We and the 1G7 infantry, the Alabama boys lock the hill and had the "Dot che" .oi;g down tbe ohrr sidi by ten o'clock. When we got over -the hill we believed what the F: nc'n had said, for we found pile; of bones, French helmets and rif!e.; scattered everywhere. Then the evening of the 14th of September we took the little town of Uine, ad vanced about a mile, then dug in for the night. Tbisis where we stepped, and held the line. Ab:uP, 12 o'clock that night the cooks tent us up a feed, boiled beef, potatoes, an 1 bread and coffee, and say, you ought to have seen us eat. We held that, line for about seven or ciaht days, 'and were relieved by the S3 brigade. Went back then, and got some new clothes, a bath and a nay day, and had a few days to our selves,.' and then wenl to the Ver dun front," where we stayed until the finish. "Well T suppose you air tirMl of reading war news h now. I know'I am tiredcf writing it. "and I will ring off. I wrote "Wayne a letter todny. I was talking to a fellow out of the 109th thrgineers that was down at Deming, N. Mx. be told me that 17th artillery had just come over, so I addressed it over here.
