Here we saw where the Americans fought the Germans just before the armistice was signed. We saw the hills the boys went over and the dugouts and huts the Germans had occupied for four years. I picked up four shell cases, two German and two French of the famous French 76's, also some cartridges and a small cream pitcher for souvenirs. Then we went back to Thiacourt where we saw immense supplies of steel, cement, wire, lumber, etc., which the Germans had had. They had plenty to last for a long time.
We got a truck going to Berne court, then a Major's enclosed Dodge going to Toul. We were 60 miles from camp and were fortunate to get a big French touring car going all the way to Jymauxcourt. On the way we stopped at Coldthbey-les Belles, where there was a great American flying field and we saw the first two German planes brought down by the American squadron. We arrived at Remaucourt, found our men still there so unpacked my bed and went to bed tired out.
Remaucourt, France, Jan. 11, 1919. Last night I returned from our three days' trip to the front. I wrote you a letter from the underground city of Verdun. Our trip was fine. We started last Wednesday morning with two light G. M. C. trucks and 28 officers. We went through dozens of small towns where names I don't remember. The towns or villages in France are close together, from one to three kilometers apart. A kilometer is about 5-8 of a mile. The towns are all alike, the houses all together built with stone or ce  ment-covered walls and red tile roofs, and no spaces between the houses.
