You can imagine
how good we felt after being
in the army for fifteen months,
sleeping on the floor in barns
on the ground and in 60 feet
deep German dugouts triple
decked, how good those hotels
looked to us with real beds and
each man had a bed to himself.
Aix-Les-Bains is a summer
resort, and they have some of
the finest hotels in France
there. We dreaded for the
day for us to start back, for it
takes all the pleasure out of
life to have to ride in these
French trains. - We were five
days and nights coming back,
which would have been about
a fifteen hour run in the states.
The railroads are crowded
here and the French do the
best they can, so why should
we worry?
Some of the natives are com
ing back to their shell-wrecked
homes. I feel sorry for them,
but still it doesn't seem to
bother them like it would us.
