General Pershing says this is the last drive the Germans will make,
We are in one of the greatest battles that has ever been fought.
Nothing in history will come up with it. Napoleon hasn’t got a thing on us. We slept where he had some of his troops sleep.
I think if everything runs right, that I will be home by Christmas,
