Sixtieth Brigade of Field Ar ,wrtCß home to his father, W. R Bierly, of 829 Chestnut street. With the censorship relaxed, he has been able to tell where ho is located and to relate some of his more Interesting experiences. "Belgium, Emlnes, Nov. 28, 1915. Dear lather, lor the rtrst time since coming to Franco 1 can write out where I am, and I propose to make good use of the relaxation in the censorsip, while I may. At present we are on our way to Germany and are resting m a village about six kilometers north of historic Namur. We have great hopes of passing through Liege. though we are not sure of It. "Doubtless you have been left to conjecture where 1 have been In the line of battle. As you know I was transferred from the Alberta Cavalry In which I enlisted to the Field Ar tillery, 25th Battery, Sixth Brigade, and was in at the fierce fight at Vlmy Ridge. There we maneuvered I around Lens for most of the summer, ] lighting all the time, as we faced the Bavarians. Then came the bit ter work at near l'pres, the likes of which 1 hope never to see again. Returning to the Vimy front we had a period of comparative rest. In the spring we were Jump ed out of the line and sent soubh of Arras near Neuville Vltaese, where, for three months we worried Fritz with a series of raids. Then we went Into G. H. Q. reserve, that ulti mately took us to Vlllers Urettenaux. near Amiens, in time for the battle lot August 8. Having repulsed Fritz, we never shifted north again to our old camp ground south of Arras at the close of August. "There we participated in the series of battles from Arras to Cambria, Rouchaln, Dlnaln and Valenciennes with the United States soldiers on our right flank. IJce them. we "never went back." As a fitting con clusion we captured Mons and en tered the Hlndenburg line before the Rrmistice gong sounded the great Joy. Briefly, this details where I hove been In France and Belgium. There have been good times mixed with the bad, as well as dull times with the exciting. "On the whole, things might have been worse, seeing I am ail nere but the angelic disposition! "I will try to secure postal cards of the main place we go through, to send you. as the marching la very fatiguing and I don't expect to have much inclination to write many let ters. Wa have passed through some very beautiful country beyond Cam bria. The towns aren't much ruined by the bombardQments. It certainly was thrilling to see the 'civics' for the first few times. "They would hear the rumble of the wheels of the artillery on the cobble stones and come crowding out of the cellars to stare at us. Then 1 all cheered and clapped their hands | when they saw our pet guns. Then came the Infantry bands playing the Marseillaise or the Belgium national air and all would go wild with ecstacy. "Our troops had a great time when the armistice was signed, but when peace is declared our rejoicing will known no limit. When Heinie started to blow up his ammunition is sound ed to us much like a barrage in the distance that we were fretted, thinking some madman had started something again. The 'civics' were blue. "Now we spend our time, when not on the march, in cleaning and polishing our guns, as well as our selves. 'Peace warfare." the officials dub it. A dull proceeding, to my mind. But as long as they ait on the lid and don't start the real thing, we needn't worry. I have hopes of 'leave' soon, being third on the bat tery list, for leave to go to 'Paree.' A week. If I don't get it, I will have that much more silver to blow when I come across the great rocking salt!
