Clair Sodergren is Home

Mrs. C. A. Sodergren was the happiest woman in Wayland last Thursday
morning, and Carl was considerably tickled "hisself" when their son,
Claire, stepped in upon them unannounced. Clair arrived at Camp Dodge on
Saturday, Feb. 8 from Camp Mills, New York, where he was sent on arrival
from France. Clair has been gone 17 months. He has never asked for or
received a leave of absence. He gave his services unreservedly to his
country and remained with the Army until he received an honorable
discharge. He has been in France about three months. Although he arrived
too late to get into the fight. We are certainly proud of Claire and bid
him a warm hearted welcome home.
