“I wish to thank you for the interest the Service Station is taking in me and I am sure all the boys from dear old Lanett feel the same as myself.... We had three battles with the ‘Subs’ on my last trip and I am proud to say we got three ‘Subs’ out of three battles.”
Chas. H. Yarbrough.
On Board U. S. S. Zeelandia
“We drove the enemy out of places that looked impossible for it to be done, tunnels and under hills and mountains several hundred feet deep, but believe me we went in after them without any mercy and finally got them going so fast we had to put doughboys in motor trucks and hook the kitchens on behind to keep up with them.”
Thomas M. Sims.

“Again I offer you a rising and unanimous vote of thanks for your kind letters. Number 10 reached me this week and did me more good than a check for $50.00 would.... You will have to admit that when the world wanted Germany licked they sent over the A. E. F. (After England Failed) and three days after I reached the front the second time, the Kaiser packed his trick clothes, threw his crown into the garbage pail, put on his rubber boots and let himself out the back door.”
