Letter From Wm. G. Stewart
Hoboken, N. J., June 10, 1918
Sentinel Leader and Friends:
How are you all by now? I
have just received the Leader
and was glad to get it. We are
having some hot weather up here
now. Some deaths in New York
City from the heat.
Well, the U boats have been
doing some damage here just
seventy-five miles from New
York City.
I was on Broadway in New
York City yesterday and rad a
nice time.
I see from the Leader that
there were some more boys call-
ed from Sentinel.
Well, 1 will try to t°ll you what
Uncle Sam gives his boys in the
army in the way of clothes. This
is what he has given me: Five
uniforms, six suits of underwear,
fifteen pairs of sox, one belt,
four pairs of shoes, one hat,
three pairs of leggins, one over-
coat, one raincoat, two towels,
one comb and brush, four shirts,
one cot, one mattress, two mat-
tress covers, one pillow, two pil-
low covers, two bed sheets, three
woolen blamcets and a mosquito
bar, so I guess there are mos-
quitoes here.
The Red Cross gave me anoth-
er one of those kits, a sweater
and two pairs of sox, so you see
I have plenty of clothes.
We have plenty to eat. W7e
have a vai iety of beef, pork, rice,
cabbage, chicken, dried peaches,
and raisens, and several other
things. We have coffee, tea or
buttermilk to drink, and some-
times they give u? pie, but not
very often. They give us corn
bread and light bread, so you see
we boys get plenty to eat.
I would like to know the ad-
dresses of the following boys:
E. J. Barnes, FrankTidball, Lon
Jarres, Evan Wiley, Leonard
Ramsey and Harry Pollard. They
are the boys who were called
with me and I would like to know
where they are for I want to
write to them.
Today, a year ago, I started
my war talk with Uncle Sam by
registering.
I saw the letters of George
Cobean and Clyde Sherman in
the Leader and they spoke of be-
ing in Jersey City and of seeing
the Statue of Liberty. I have
been out to the Statue of Liber-
ty and have been in Jersey City
several times.
I have never seen any ground
yet except the parks and lawns,
for all the rest of the country is
paved. So you see I would be
glad to see the ground once more.
It has been raining here today.
Well, with the best of wishes
to all, I will close,
Your friend,
Wm. G. Stewart,

Letter From Charlie Page
Dear Mother and Father:
I have just received a letter
from you.
Well, mamma, I have just come
back from a seven days’ leave.
Did I have a good time? Well, I
guess I did. I learned more
about England, France and the
trenches than you can learn by
reading the papers a year. I
was in the following places:
New Castle, one day; Man-
chester, one day; York, one day;
Birmingham, one day; London,
three days. Had a fine time in
each place, but the greatest in
London.
While we were in London (it
was the second night) we were
they gave the alarm notify.ngus
that the Germans were making
another one of their air raids.
All lights were out and all the
people got below out of danger.
Instead of the four boys that
were with me and myself going
to safety we went out on the
streets to try and get a glimpse
of the enemy. As soon as we
got out there we saw that we
were not the only fcolish ones,
for there Were at least fifty oth-
er Wyoming sailors. They were
out for the same thing we were.
Our hope was awarded, for high
above, circling back and forth
like a buzzard, we could see the
enemy. We could follow the
flight of his bombs from the time
they left him until they bursted.
It only lasted for a few seconds,
for he^was soon brought down,
“never-more to drop another
bomb.”
Perhaps you may wonder when
I tell you that we could see his
bombs as they dropped. Every
bomb has a tracer—in the day it
is smoke and in the night it is
fire. So you see it was easy to
tell where they hit.
I talked to wounded soldiers
from New Zealand, Australia,
England, Canada and some of
our own boys who have been in
the tienches. I will be able to
keep you going for a few days
when 1 get back. You should
ship. All I got to eat at a time
was two eggs and two slices of
brown bread. Tney would not
sell us any more. I sure did jus-
tice to our “navy” beans, meat
and white bread when I got back
aboard.
I saw lots of our soldier boys
but no one I knew. The are hav-
ing it much easier than we sail-
ors. As you know they had rath-
er be in the trenches than have
to sail across. That ia their
worst dread, where we have to
face it every day. But, pshaw!
Why tell you this.?
Tell dad I will not be able to
help him eat any of his melons
this summer, or maybe not for
several to come for we won’t be
back till its over over here and
that is not yet, by a long shot.
You should be over here and
hear the sad stories told by dif-
ferent ones. I could write you a
lot, but am not allowed to

gets this) when he puts his mush

much the kid “over there” would
like to be there to help him eat
it. I can almost taste it now.
