ENOUGH OF WAR 
MANCHESTER YouNcG Man Says HEY 
Has Hap At, H&E WANTS OF IT 
AND Wants To Get Home. 
FTER a year behind the trenches 
in France, Irving W. Andrews, a 7 
former Manchester young man, has 
had enough of war. 
friend Charles Fritz of Manchester, 
received the other day, he tells of his — 
longing to get back home. His letter 
was dated March 7 and he omitted 
the stereotyped, “Somewhere i 
France,” simply using that date line 
and inserting the closely written 
sheets in an official envelope. 
Extracts from his letter are inter- 
esting as they reflect the mental atti- 
tude of the “man in the trenches” 
toward the war. He writes, “I will 
be glad when the war is over and they 
put us on the boat for Canada. I 
have been on the firing line for over 
a year now and, believe me, I have 
seen some fightingsaelieeyou sever 
heard one of those 16-inch shells 
burst over your head you would 
never forget it, no matter how hard 
you tried. There isn’t much to being 
a soldier. All you have to do is go 
to the front and do what you are told. 
If anyone gets stubborn and ‘bucks’ 
he will find out that they can ‘buck’ 
just as hard as he cam and a Jittle 
more of it.2 
In another place he writes, “You 
know as much about the war as I do, 
for I am in among the guns and all I 
hear is the ‘bang.’ They do not allow. 
rum or whiskey to be sold to the 
soldiers, but you can buy French wine 
and beer everywhere except on the fir- 
ing line. I have seen a lot of Belgium 
and France, but I wouldn’t give 30 
cents for both put together, compared 
with the good old U. S. A. There is 
no country like our own. If you 
were away two years and had been 
mixed up in the fighting for a year 
you would feel that way, too.” 
He writes that he receives tobacco 
and cigars from his wife in Sydney, 
Cape Breton. He was in the battle 
of Ypres a year ago and took part in 
the shelling by the artillery for 22 
days and nights. He is now a nen- 
commissioned officer in the Canadian 
artillery. He does not mention the 
name of the regiment. 
Mr. Andrews is a son of Mr. and 
Mrs. George Andrews of Essex st. 
He was formerly driver of an ex- 
press wagon here and his ability to 
handle horses won him promotion in 
the artillery.
