Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters to the Bridgeport Comfort Club From the Foreign Chapter in France Dear Mothers: - Now that we have our Foreign Chapter of our Comfort Club, may we just review a few of the more interesting things that have taken place since we were promenading down Main Street and saw those catchy signs in the window about "Free Trips to Berlin", etc., and advising us to sign up with the First Connecticut Ambulance Company. So being fired with patriotism and yearning for adventure, also thinking that our best girls would like us all the more if we could write them a line from Berlin, we hike up to the Armory and sign up with "The Uncle Sam and Lieut. John T. Powers Company, Inc." We stood trembling while beaucoup doctors glared at our bodies like Al Goulden does at a fellow when he stalls his motor on the corner of Main and Fairfield. Well, then we drilled two or three nights a week at the Armory on squads east, squads west, right upper berth, prepare to load and all that important? stuff. Sergeants were drilling us as they read it from the book, some of us had uniforms and some didn´t, those that did automatically becoming fixtures about town. Then someone said that we were to get a dollar for each regular drill night, but I guess we are like Heinie, we have something coming to us, but anyway we don´t need it as our Mas just sent us one hundred real American dollars. Next our orders came that we should report at the Armory, ready to move at a minute´s notice. Well, we were there, suit cases, hand bags, and all, every one excited, but we had a chance to cool off for we did not leave for three days, then down to dear old Niantic we go, more squads east and squads west, hung around a month or two, each day trying to follow Lieut. Sprague or Lieut. Nagle out in the country for a few miles with packs on our backs and saying it was a tough war. And to think we had a big shower bath, a canteen and Social Center that was a Red Cross and Salvation Hut all in one, but we didn´t know it then.
