The battalion included three batteries, and I was assigned to Battery C. So from [[strikethrough]] K [[/strikethrough]] ^[[C]]ouverpuits (battalion headquarters and Battery A) I went on through Ribaucourt (Battery B) to Morley (Batt [[strikethrough]] ey [[/strikethrough]] ^[[ery]] C). Two new newcomers from Samur were assigned to C. One was another second lieutenant named Post. The other was First Lieutenant Murphy, the only man in the army with whom I had ever [[strikethrough]] exch [[/strikethrough]] exchanged angry words. We detested each other. There wee were in the same battery, and he outranked me.

Love,
