Charles H. Clark, formerly of Sew
ard, is now in the Canadian hospital
service in France. The following let
ter received by Curtis Morford gives
a most interesting account of build
ing a field hospital under fire, deep
down in the earth, just prior to the
big drive on the western front.
Y. M. C. A. and Canadian War Con
tingent Association with the Can
adian Forces, Clood Friday, April t».
Dear Curt: Your very welcome let-,
ter of February loth reached me all)
right a couple of weeks ago and very
glad I was to hear the news of Sew
ard. When last 1 wrote you I was in
England, jince then 1 have been mov
ed across to France and have been j
across the channel since the first ot
the year and have been attached to a
field ambulance. We have been mov
ing axound considerably and l was “up
the line” once when our fellows car-,
ried out a successful raid on h ritzy s
line and I helped to carry the wound
ed off, which 1 am glad to say there
was a small number.
1 have just got back from near the
front line trenches where our boys,
a number at a time, have been help
ing to build an advanced dressing sta
tion to be used when the big push
comes on. This station is forty feet
under ground and all the dirt had to
be hauled in bags and emptied at
night time. There were four shifts
working six hours each and the shitt
1 was with was on from 8 p. m. to
2 a. m., consequently most of our
work consisted of emptying bags on
tops. We were working between
some of our own guns and Fritzy’s i
guns, and the fusilade at times was
pretty strong, so much so that two
or three times during the night we
had to quit work and lie low. How
ever, we all came through all right
and it is not so bad as it will be later
on as we start for “up the line” to
act as stretcher bearers, as T suppose
the spring offensive will soon com
mence.
Word has come to us today that
the United States has declared war
on Germany. It really seems as if
the whole world would get into this

--
war before it is finished.
You tell those people in Seward not
to complain so of the climate up there.
You have heard of “Sunny France,’
so have I, but I haven’t seen any
thing of it yet. The weather has been
rotten. A couple of days ago there
was a heavy fall of snow and while
it is not stay on the ground long it
helped to make more mud, of which 1
can tell you there was already a plen
ty. Such mud! Ynever saw the like
in my life. Well, I shall be glad to
hear from you again.
Are Mr. and Mrs. He Sherbinin still
there? If so, remember me to them
and also to all other inquiring friends
and with kind regards to the Judge
and yourself* believe me,
Yours sincerely,
Xo. 5278G8. CHAS. K. CLARK.
