October 9, 1917 - George Learns to Fall In and Do Drills

Well folks. I’m some soldier. Never had any drill except morning at Jefferson Barracks till this A.M.  Then first thing the top sergeant put two of us under the tutorship of a private, with a rifle and after 4hrs. we were told to fall in after driven with rest of squad for gun drill and inspection.  That’s some speed I say.  We’re awfully rotten but the Sargeant says he don’t believe in an awkward squad so we do the best we can.  Rest of boys will soon be out of detention.

Love to all. George


Sorry for temporary dyslexta!  - Thought all my next set were the 9th!  Mybad!!
