7/3/1919
London, England.
Dear Mother:
I told you in my last letter that we were to go to Liverpool today to embark for Brest.
Those orders were changed so that we now have orders to leave here at 9:20 A.M. July 5th.
I went to the station to see the Third Army (Army of Occupation) men off. They were
unfortunate enough to have to return to the Rhine. Martin went with them. He did not seem to
mind going back. He said he had been lucky ever since he got into the army, and he would not
kick this time. They expect to get home from there soon.
Your son,
Guy.
