"Saw the trench shooting at a Bosh aeroplane. Lt Antell came to the window & spoke to me & we went for a walk after supper and talked over our day. At Mt Sinai. Lost such a nice boy today by the name of Fyfe—he was badly shot up. terrible wounds."

"Attended the Funeral of Fyfe. It was a military funeral with bugle & taps. Some of the boys from his company up the line came down. Afterwards found a big patch of four leaf clovers."

"Word came to Evacuate tomorrow. Went to a French concert this evening, guess it was good but it was all French & could not understand."

"Evacuated this morning 6 to Base, 4 to duty only five left, spent the day cleaning the ward & getting ready for the next lot, went to movies tonight."

"Went on night duty. The night Supervisor opened up an empty ward for me to sit in. Miss Lister came along & made Sgt Reinhart close it. when he found I was using it, he unlocked it but I was as stubin & would not go in for I disliked Miss Lister any way, and guess its mutual. I have four wards to look after."

"Slept poorly. Had a hard thunder shower. The Germans sent over Gas. 36 dead & 90 in Field Hosp. 104. Many of them are badly gased. . . ."

"Miss Forsythe & Miss Bean had their P.M. so I got up at 1o’clock and we all went for a walk. We first went to Bruley. Went into the church there, found a 4 leaf clover right out side the door, saw the La Grotte-de-la-Vierge, which was back of the church, here also was an alter made from the natural rock. We rested here awhile and took a path up a steep steep hill, we were all panting when we reached the top but it was well worth it for the scenery of the surrounding country was beautiful. We walked around & saw the places they have made to mount their large guns & places for storing ammunition, and then we came to the observation place of the French, they let us look through their telescope at Mount Sec—the hill of the Germans’ strong hold & in front of Metz. We saw the smoke of a German Gun & then they took us down in one of their real dug outs made of cement. Then we walked down the other side of the hill which was just as steep & so wet & slippery. We came down into the village of Lucy, there we found the streets full of soldiers, horses & guns & were told they were just coming in. We went into a little place here to buy some post cards & the woman was so nice. She took us tho a long hall with wine vats on both sides, it was a dirty place but we came out into the most wonderful flower & vegetable garden. She gave us flowers to bring home. We were late for supper so I ran over & took my night report and came back & had lunch in our room."

"Nearly died last night for want of sleep. Major Lufbery of the flying Corps was buried today with all military honors, he was considered our best flyer. The Aviators flew over & drop flowers over his grave. The german who shot him was afterwards caught by the French. When the French got wind that Lufbery (whom they were very fond of) had been killed they started out and said they would get the german if they had to go into germany. The Frenchman caught him & ramed right into him with his machine. There were three in the German machine. There is great activity in the air tonight"

"Went to bed early & had a good sleep, there was a drive on and we received many patients. I am in the officers war[d] but like taking care of the boys much better, Admitted Lt. Lynn Harriman—he was on duty at the front in France on May 27, 1918. Enemy put over a barrage followed by an attack. In the struggle he was hit by the Enemy’s bullet & wounding him in the left shoulder, and passing downward tho. lung, he lie in the trenches unable to move (paralysed from waist down) for two hours, while lying there a bunch of germans came along with large clubs & carrying bombs, realizing he could not move he made believe dead, and when the Germans had gotten a distance away he opened fire on them dropping one or two & causing the others to flee. Another similar incident took place a little later. He was given the Croix-de-Guerre."

"Lt. Harriman died today. Just after he died word came from General Pershing he had been given the D.S.C. [Distinguished Service Cross] Capt. Frank from our base was up here & came to the window to see us. Nearly 400 of our boys were gased last night and are at 102 field Hosp. some are very bad. Some say it was Phosgene gas and others say Mustard. . . ."

"Went to bed early. Miss Forsythe had her P.M. so did not sleep, got up early. We were sitting out on the steps when we saw a red Baloon come down, The kind used by the germans so wechased it about a mile& just before we got to it along came a French kid & picks it up. It had not bursted but the message had been taken off before we reached it by the French. Admitted Douglas Campbell to day The first “All American Ace”. Shot in the back by a German while flying. Quite some excitement in the air tonight. Also the serch lights & Star Shells could be plainly seen."

"Miss Lister came in after I got to sleep & told me I was off night duty. I got up did some washing & Ironing. Miss Lent, Forsythe Rothman & I went for a walk but had to come back early to a lecture given us by the colonel, he gave us quite a raking over, and said in a nice way we would have to come under army discipline. . . ."

Total of cases admitted yesterday 148. I went to bed & took a good sleep. The boys were very badly shot up the worst wounded yet. One boy has 16 big wounds. 12 died six prisoners brought in, one died later. . . ."

"Very busy, did not get any time off. News came of a great Italian victory, andthat the Austrians are retreating in disorder."

"Had a half day. Miss Forsythe & I went over to the farm for milk & Eggs and after supper Miss Lent & I went over to Bruley with Sgt Drake, he rode his horse over & I rode it back. About midnight we were awaken by bombs and they sounded to be right in our yard but the next morning they said they were just outside of Toul."

"After work Miss Lent & I started over to the woods to write letters & saw a lot of troops passing, so we rushed over to the main road & saw thousands of boys go by, some on trains, some walking looking very tired & some in camions & some on horse back. They were the 82 Div going up to relieve the 26th Div. We had just gotten nicely settled in bed when we heard the machine guns & out we jumped & there was an air battle going on right over us The serch light from St Micheal hill was wonderful we could see the black smoke of the german shells in the air. They dropped bombs which struck quite near the Hosp. and shook our house, It was the nearest battle we have had the areoplane went right over us. The serch light turned their light on the plane & the germans shot right down the light at the serch light."

"Came off for last time, wrote letters and went to church in the evening, had a patriotic service as it was so near the 4th."
