And the Month before...

Well, I didn't get my act together soon enough - here we see the same report as yesterday, but from August.

S.S.U. 580 : At present "en repose" where they have been for three weeks. Great improvement since last month in care and upkeep of cars. All in first class condition and some newly painted. Men have setting up exercises in morning and assembly before supper at night. Spirit and discipline of men excellent. Lieut. most conscientious and painstaking. French Lieut. Mignet away on permission and will not return as he is called to another service. Lieut Seymour to continue alone according to instructions of the D.S.A. Speaks French and is well liked by division. Garford truck still at Parc D waiting for a rear wheel ire ordered long ago.

We see Seymour's signature on the bottom of Herb's letters. Poor guy, has to read his troops letters in addition to everything else.

Glad to know morale is excellent. We know that this is what Herb is writing home at about the time this report was being written.
