I suppose you will hear about me being wounded before this letter reaches you. I am not hurt bad. I just got a little too close to one of Fritz's big shells and a piece got me in the ankle. I will probably be well by the time this letter reaches you. We've sure got Fritz on the go. This is the second drive that I have been in since I landed in France. If I had been lucky enough to last about 6 or 8 hrs. longer, my division was relieved then. But I can considere myself lucky the way it is. I am in an American hospital now, I am glad of it. I was in an Australian hospital for a few days, but I didn't lit it so well. Well, mother, I will have to close for this time. From your boy, Vance B. B. Pvt Vance B.
