legitimately our outfit makes a sick caller make up All in Fantry Drill arid calisthenic that were missed by this so called Gold bricking As a punitive measure to discourage fall ing out for sick it

men there Arent More than 30 with us and few of those have not been to the Hospital at least the company very interesting now do some quoting from the articles of War Tom Hennery has been reorganized three for that we get one Battle compare that generous offering with the Case of one of our reinforcements from an ordnance outfit in he was with usin the attack for two Days and was sent Back to a Hospital because of an aching he was in the Vicinity at least 20 Miles of the Battle lines in France and spent two Days in for that he is entitled to Wear four Bat the the ordnance gets 20 for the infantry gets the most Points were Given to men having what about the conscientious men in infantry while Back in the knowing that they were in the toughest outfit in the refused to get married and have Chil Dren because of the enormous possibility that they would soon leave widows and orphans or be sent Home some romantic fool called the infantry Queen of we say he is a Shes just an old whore who is flattered a bit and tossed a few pennies for her but is blithely and shame fac edly set aside when her duties Are no longer quest that she win find out Why and they will do we have been subjected to this kind of thing but feel that this tops pm we Are wondering who wears the eagles and the pants in that Hows about what do Germany Fred India withheld Tiger by ten dear yank id like to know Why an enlisted Man Many Points for a discharge and an officer needs such a Low the following appeared in our Field newspaper captains and Field Grade officers will require the score of 70 Points or first lieutenants second lieu tenants flight officers 36 and warrant officers up to now at our Field practically the Only ones to be discharged have been men that have Over 109 Points that fair to the pm what about some of us getting out and getting some of the Good jobs too the pm Are told that they Are critically Doest the same thing go with officers Las vegas withheld the air Force says that the article gives a false the Points referred to for officers Are not the number of Points required for re from service but Are the average scores of officers in the ranks these were computed in order that a proper balance could be secured in the release of officers of different the number of Points an officer holds is not the Only Factor which will determine whether or not he will be an officer might have 120 or More Points and if he is needed in the prosecution of the War he will not be military necessity is the governing dear yank us boys in the Eto have a Gripe to it seems that in your
