Thursday, August 9, 1917:
Fine day. Took a bath in a muddy stream near here after spending most of the A.M. under the car examining universal joint and differential.
We go out in the morning near Verdun to take part in one of the worst sectors of France. We have been supplied with two new gas masks, making three in all. One is to be carried always. Also we were given emergency rations and medicine kits. We are requested to wear our helmets all the time. We received instructions regarding our work and what to do when under shell fire. It begins to look like real war.
Wrote Dorothy and went to bed early.
