Plattsmouth Journal, November 4, 1918 A LETTER FROM FRANCE Somewhere in France October 8, 1918 Dear Web: I thought I would drop you a line or so to let you know I am on the top shelf, which I hope you are the same. Well Web, how�s old Plattsmouth? Are they still drafting the young fellows? Has any of the Newmans� been drafted yet? Well, how�s the old hang out place, Arries� pool room. Is it still running? I sure would like to be there to beat you a game of pool. Say Web, have you ever heard of Emil Finder? I sure would like to see him but I�ve only run across one of the fellows I knew and that was in Presidio, Johnny Wickman, if you know him. Well, give the boys my regards. I am in a town that was bombarded once and is shot to pieces. We�re not very far from the front line trenches. I can see the big guns firing at the aeroplanes, what they call air craft. It gets up so far and busts. Its fun to see airplanes fighting in the air. All I could see was smoke. It�s getting kind a cool here in the evening but isn�t as bad as I expected it to be. Well, Web, will close, hoping to hear from you soon. Your friend, BOB KUSHINSKY Address: Park Battery C.A.A.P. 1 S.S. Army, Am. E.F., France, via New York, A.P.O. 728. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - File online, calculators, forms, and more http://tax.yahoo.com
