small village outside of Coblenz. We took over four German homes and were really sitting pretty. Electric lights, running water and a bed apiece. We were all set for a nice long rest. Well, the next day we were ordered to pack and move to an old air field. We lived in pup tents there for a couple of days then loaded onto box cars again. We started traveling now right along the Rhine River. It was a beautiful trip. We [cut?] out of Germany and went through Alsus-Lorraine and then back into France. We finally ended up at Marseille, France. I'm stationed at a little town just a little ways from there by the name of St. Victoret. I'm living in a large tent with nine others. It really isn't bad. I guess that about completes my travels. I do hope you
