CORPORAL JOE CAMPBELL
WXIOl'S TO COME HOME
—
Corpora! *L>e J. Campbell. we!1 i
known Sewaid young man. writing ♦«' |
Judge Morford, under date oi Nov.
27th. with the A. K. in France,
says that he is anxious to get bad* }
home again now that the war is ovc*.
“Although 1 have been overs* as L'»
the past four months 1 have yet to
meet anyone I knew before. Have seen
thousands of hoys in Khaki and al
ways search then thoroughly for a
familiar face hut to no avail." writ's
Corporal Campbell.
“I am anxious to learn how ti ' boy*
from the north came through. Our
division was skeletonized upon arriv
ing over here and parts of it scatter
ed all over the country*. 1 am among
a few out of each company to stay
with the organization and we were
held to train new troops. Out of the
250 orign J men we brought over in
our company, there are only 2b of us
left. The others were used f ’* re
placements for divisions at the front.
“\t the present time our future i .
quite uncertain. We are not a part of
the army of occupation, a** yet, ami
unless assigned to it, will probably re
turn to the stab's with the first army,
of which we are a part.
“Give my best regards to any of
my friends whom you may chance to
meet.”
