  "Dear Frank,

  . . . . The three cards I shall

  treasure highly. The poor tank, high

  and such a total wreck, speaks eloquently

  of the terrible ordeal the brave crew en-

  dured. I could easily see you in the

  dull-looking country roadway, the 

  ruined buildings on the far side - silent

  evidence of the terrible times now, Thank

  God, past. No wonder you poor standed

  boys turned your back on the ruins!

      Now I come to the best and most

  arresting photograph. Those trees look

  like ghostly giants on guard, with the

  Crucifix between. Can the mind for

  a moment gauge the heartaches, the tears,
