Posted Oct 29 1917, Fitchburg, Mass.

This is the way they come in here. This is the draft army cantonment for the New Eng. states. Our Reg. is the only bunch of enlisted men here. I don’t know [how] they come to stick us away up here. Our regiment is recruited from all parts of U.S. I have met men from Cal. Mont. Wash. Va. Ken. Ore. Idaho. Col. etc.

Co. C. 25th Eng. Camp Devens, Ayer Mass.
