ED. DUSOLD, LOCAL BOY WHO DROVE TRUCK 6000 MILES IN WAR, WRITES OF EXPERIENCE
In a letter to his sister, Mrs. William Bartels, 1907 Western Ave.
E.H. Dusold, Co. E. 14th Engineers, after referring to a number of
family matters has the following interesting news to relate. "Will
write you about the different places I was in. When we left New York
it took us twelve days to make the trip on a German interned ship,
the Princess Irene renamed the Pocahontas. Landed in St. Naziare and
stayed there for a few days and were sent to Blois in the training
camp where Napoleon trained his men a century ago and then left for
an English engineering camp outside of the city of Rouen. Stayed in
this camp for a few days and then left for Berneville and joined this
regiment. We were with the British about five miles behind the lines.
Got used to the guns and sometime later moved to Vendroux near Calais
and stayed there until Aug 1; were released from the British and went
with the Americans. When we left Calais we went to Chateau Thierry
and stayed there a week and then went to a place called Trugy. Stayed
in a farmer's yard. There were buildings all around us. There was an
old church there that had been partly demolished during a previous
war. From there we removed to LaFollie, doing road work and there I
ran into the 32nd Division's train and met a Polish fellow by the name
of Jake. I can't recall his last name, who had talked with Bib the day
before. The troops had taken another road so saw nothing of them. They
had just come out of the lines at Esmes and had probably gone to the
Toul sector. We moved up to Villa Laroye, about two miles from Fismes,
returned to our place again and then crossed the River Marne to Dormaus,
then moved to Limper about twelve miles from Verdun. Stayed there a few
days and moved a part of the company to Lorey and some stayed in Clairmont
Lufer and moved from there to Vranicourt and remained for sometime. The
company moved to Paris and through Vranicourt to Lesislets and the next
day returned to Vranicourt. Moved to Cheppy then to Rattantout and then
to our present camp. We are just off the Grand Tranchee, near St. Maurice
and Billy. Have a nice place. We are twenty-five miles from Metz, in
Alsace Lorraine. We expect to have some spread today, chicken dinner,
pie, grapes, apples, cigars and cigarettes. We won't eat those though.
Also have a band to play for us if it don't rain. I have driven the
truck 6,000 miles since I have been here and have no idea when we will
leave for home."

Calvary, Manitowoc)
