Date created Transcript
  • By JOHN A. COOPER. Copyright, 1919, Book Rights Re- served. BOMAL, Tuesday,* Dec. 3, 1918.— We have suffered a check—not from the Germans, but from our friends, the R. O. D. The letters symbolize the “Railway Operating Department” of the army, which is responsible for bringing our supplies up from Bou- logne. The R. O. D. has failed us temporarily and we must needs live on biscuits and bully-beef. And be- cause this is our only fare and be- cause there is none too much of it in sight, we are spending two extra days in and around Bomal, a little village on the Ourthe river, about 30 kilometers straight south of Liege.
