To-night I have just helped to bury a young woman who lay in the corner of the old barn we are using for a bathroom. She lay covered with a greatcoat one of our chaps had put ovor her. When I picked up tho coat I was nearer fainting t'han when the bullet took my helmet off at . Mother, she was tho picture of our sister. Her hair was all tumbled loose. Her fingers had been cut offi to get lier rings. One breast was-cut off. She must have died an awful death. I sat down and howled like a kid. We had seen men and women of all nations lying dead.
