wrote on the back "F Company, occupying E Company's former position.
Vox Hill behind me. Woods and our former position of the hill would be to

Company he came riding down the hill behind me bareback on a German
artillery horse. Some shells were falling in the vicinity that he of
course ignored. I don't recall what it was he came down for, but when
we told him he was crazy, he just grinned and said he was "lonesome" for F
company ..."
