Headline Green Easley Writes From France - WW I
Text J. J. Wallen of this city received lately the following letter from his young friend, Green Easley, a Barry county boy who is now in France in the American army.

Somewhere in France,
August 28, 1918

After so long a time I will write you a few lines. I am in the trenches. We sleep in the daytime and are up all night.

Do you ever see uncle Ned? I am sitting in one end of a dugout. It is raining today.

We slip down the trenches and take a bath and wash our clothes. We have lots of fun, too.

Old Fritz sends shells over every once in a while. It sure makes a fellow feel little sometimes when they come close. Well the Yanks are coming over pretty fast. They are going to do the work for the Huns.

I am not with a Barry county boy but I am with a fine bunch of boys and officers.

I have had a long trip and have seen lots of country and of course was on the water sometime.

Will close for this time. So answer soon.

Your friend,
Green Easley,
