TRANSCRIBED FROM THE HOME NEWS OCTOBER 12, 1917 P. 4
Mr. W. W. Raney,
McCrory, Arkansas.
Dear Sir and Friend:
There are a bunch of us boys in Squad 10 of the 154th Infy. of which I am corporal that would like to have the home paper to read every week for it is like a letter from a friend. $1, enclosed.
There are seven of us that are from McCrory out of eight so it makes it real nice for us to be together. The squad seems like home to an extent, yet it is different in ways
.
The boys that are in the squad are Jim Keating, Jim Chappell, Ayne Crossett, Geo. Crail, Willis Brazeale, Verlin Prince, Judd Johnson.
There will be several changes in the 154Th Infy. in a short while. The 3rd. Batalion has been changed to a Machine Gun Company and the 1st. and 2nd. Batalion will go together and make the 1st. Batalion.
I do not know any news, therefore I beg to remain.
Your friend,
Judd Johnson
