Chateau at Buzancy, France. Once the headquarters of some German General From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).
Chateau de Belle-fille, near Chemire Le Gaudin. Built in 1130. In the olden days of knighthood a beautiful young lady lived here and as all young ladies are, she was deeply in love with a man. He was a man of wealth, fashion and society, a gambler and a drunkard. The priest told him that if he did not stop his evil ways the Lord would destroy him with fire and water. He heeded not the advice, and one day while crossing the Sarth River, lightning struck him and he fell into the water, dead. The young lady, to mourn the loss of her lover, locked herself in one of the rooms in this chateau, and stayed shut in for fifty years, when she died. Today the hole in the wall through which she received her meals, is still there. From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).

A German observation post in the Argonne, camouflaged among the trees on top of a high hill. Notice the camouflaged fox hole at the foot of the trees where the observer slept. A metal plate at this post with arrows pointing to the nearby towns and giving their distance, shows the thoroughness of the Germans. From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).
A GERMAN UNTEROFFIZER CAPTURED IN THE ARGONNE He could speak a bit of English, and he told us that they were proud of the big P. W. stenciled on their clothes. That to us it meant Prisoner of War, but to them it meant "Papa Wilson." From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).

HOMEWARD BOUND "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, the boys are marching," with smiling faces, uniform packs and the little Red Cross bags. We are on our way to the docks at Brest, France, where we shall embark for the good old U. S. A. While the passenger list was being checked the band was playing and the smiling faces of Red Cross girls were bidding us good-bye and a "bon voyage." From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).
Here is a little insect that with all his faults, and they are many, possesses certain virtues. He has solved the problem of race suicide, for he multiplies with astounding rapidity. He adapts himself easily, not to say gracefully, to uncomfortable, even unsanitary surroundings, and if he were permitted to speak in his own defense, would doubtless challenge you to show on all the pages of history any great military success attained by an army not accompanied and "egged on" as it were by cooties. Personally, I believe you would have difficulty in producing such an example. From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).

IN THE WAKE OF THE HUNS Closely allied with the Hun's scheme of frightfulness was his policy of destruction, and woe be unto that town within the range of his guns.

Many of you have the idea that a battlefield was a complete system of trenches and a mass of barb-wire entanglements, but such was not the case in the last few months of fighting.

NEAR BAYONVILLE, FRANCE There is no tribute high enough that can be paid the lads who fought and fell. Their graves will always be an honor to French soil. These little graves look mighty rough, but it is the best that could be done under the conditions. Even though they are not bedecked with flowers and monuments, they stand for much. From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).
NEAR FLEVILLE, FRANCE When the artillery opened up on the morning of November 1, 1918, "Fritzie" certainly was anxious to see his "Fatherland," for he pulled out for a home-run.

OUR FIRST GAS ATTACK Just as we entered the woods near Brocourt we received a welcome that sounded like a hundred thousand Fords--Gr, Gr, Gr, Gr, Gr, then a crack and a boom, boom, then someone said GAS. Scared? No, we were paralyzed--didn't know whether to put on our gas masks or turn and run. Finally our masks were on and then somebody gave: "Permission is given to remove face pieces." We would not mind the gas alarm so much if it wouldn't come around meal times. From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).

The Meritas Mills, Columbus, Ga. From Mill News. Vol. XXII, no. 16 (Oct. 14, 1920).
This sketch will give you some faint conception of the effect of high explosive shells. I take no man's word for this, as it came under my personal observation. People often ask the question: "How does it seem to be hit by a piece of a shell?" And it was probably never better answered than by the British Tommy, who said: "First you 'ears a 'ell of a noise, next you see a nurse bendin' over you, an' 'ear 'er say, 'See if you can drink some of this.'" For months you have been seeing in the papers pictures of demolished villages and shell pitted areas, and perhaps you have wondered whether or not the pictures were overdrawn. Let me assure you that they were not, for many and many a time I have gazed on artillery effects that it would be mpossible to exaggerate. Instances are related of heroic French artillerymen who have shelled their own homes to fragments because German soldiers had taken possession of, and were occupying them. How can Germany or any other nation expect to crush a people of such indomitable resolution? From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).
TROOP TRAIN FROM MONTOIR TO LE MANS The little toy engine and the "flat wheel coaches," can we ever forget 'em. Yes, we were lucky on this trip in not having to ride in "Homes 40 and Chaveux 8." (A box car whose capacity is 40 men or 8 horses.) Along the route in each village the population would turn out to bid us "good-bye," and the children would ask for cigarettes. From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).

We are back at Brest again, and instead of pup-tents for shelter, we have barracks; instead of walking in mud, we have duck boards; and instead of cooking our own meals, we have someone to do it. Uncle Sam is sure good to his boys. From Tar-Heel War Record (In the Great World War).
