Plattsmouth Journal, Thursday, August 8, 1918 NEWS FROM ALVO. Letter From Camp Dodge This letter was received by Miss Emma HANSEN from her brother at Camp Dodge: Camp Dodge, Iowa, July 30 Dear Sister and all: I received your letter today and was glad to hear from you. The pictures sure were fine. I just got to see them and that was all; as quick as they hit the sun they were gone. You don�t need to send me any pictures for I guess I won�t get out of here for two months. Then maybe I can come home before I go. Some say I can look for a call any day but I don�t think so. I have not got my uniform yet, but we will get them this week. I sure have got my suit ruined now. You asked me if I had got to see Henry C. No, I haven�t, because we can�t get out. The sickness is holding down alright yet. But there is quite a few dying and getting killed. There was one shot in our company the other night. He tried to get away and got a bullet in the back. It was quite a sight the day we got the shot in the arm and back. There were so many that fainted. We were lined up for dinner and they began to drop all around so they dismissed us. I stood it fine and both of mine took effect so I only have one more to take. That will be the worst one. You asked about that comfort kit, I did not get one. But there isn�t anything I need unless you want to send me a sweater if you can get one that don�t button down the front. It has been pretty cold the last two mornings. How do your papers state about the war, all we can hear is that the Yanks are capturing and killing the Huns by the thousands. We had it pretty easy last week but say they are giving it to us this week. I wished you could see the trained �Soldiers,� it sure is pretty to see them march. You know how it sounded that day in Plattsmouth. Our company can beat that now. There are 330 in our company. When we hit the pavement it sounds nice, too. You should see the exercise we got to go through, some you never would think of. It sure loosens every muscle in you. It made my breast feel better. We have a nice bunch of officers, if you are half white with them. If you don�t do as they say it won�t be easy sailing. The officer was telling us the rules the other day and how to do. He said, �If you meet an officer and did not salute him just nod your head and say Hello and if you didn�t it would be Hello with the O cut off. The rejected ones went home today so if I would have been one I would be home tomorrow. But I guess it will be Berlin or bust. I don�t care now, I am in and going to stay to th! e finish! That is one thing sure I never think of us getting killed. I may get to go up to Des Moines Saturday P.M. lots of nice girls up there they say, and a nice park. I know the park is nice. We came past it when welcome out to the camps. You can send a cake some time if it isn�t too much bother. I sent Ina, Louise and Tillie all a letter so I can get news all around the country and cards to Art and Elmer Keyver, also Violet. You tell Violet and Ina to be sure and write me some long letters. I guess I had better quit and go get a bath. Tell all the kids and folks hello and don�t be long about writing. Your brother, ALFRED HANSEN Co. 37 [or 87], 10th Bat.

Dear Listers, I am reviewing the Plattsmouth Journal for June 1918-May 1919. This is my second pass on this microfilm because I have some specific things to look up, so I will have some extra time to take look up requests. This is their big World War I news year, and they made every effort to follow the movement of their Cass County boys. So here is my invitation to let me know if you have a WWI soldier you would like me to look out for. Please give me his first and last name, and the town he came from. Many soldiers' letters are already posted on the GenWeb Cass County site. 1918 was also the year of the Spanish flu. I will have with me the surnames that were requested before, so don't worry about repeating that information. Becky --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
