Conger Reynolds correspondence, June 1918

1918-06-20 Conger Reynolds to Daphne Reynolds Page 3

of the 26th Landwehrs Infantry.  Kaiser Bill's Army. Lieut. Kornoosky had the misfortune to get captured in the little affray up on Xivray last Sunday.  A little while later he was up against an interrogatory by Arthur.  I expect he was glad to part with the helmet in the hope of hastening Arthur along.  Anyway, according to the tag Arthur attached, the Boche gives us the helmet with his compliments.  I am tickled pink to get it.  Of course, I could buy one anytime (there doesn't seem to be much chance that I'm ever going to take one away from a Boche at point of pistol) but I wanted one with a history which I might know.  Some time ago I suggested for Arthur that I wished he would hook one for me the first chance he got.  He card indexed the suggestion - and now I have the helmet.  It will make a dandy thing either
