FROM JANUARY 17TH ISSUE
OF THE SAN FRANCISCO
CALL AND POST
Ken Marr—Captain Kenneth Marr, aviation section, signal corps,
TJ. S. A., if you please—former San Francisco boy, whose flying feats
nave helped to make California’s name glorious in France, is looking
forward to the time when he can return to California. He confides
that in a letter to John Martin, 4 60 Broderick street, known as ‘Cap"
\o his friends, one time captain of the Polytechnic High School football
siiuad. Perhaps the greatest items of interest for San Franciscans
in this newsy letter is the fact that Marr assisted Douglas MacMonagle,
who died for freedom’s cause, to got in the Lafayette Escadrille,. and
that Mrs. MacMonagle, his mother, is dedicating her time and her
fortunes to the poor of France. Here is the letter.
My Dear “Cap” -—Your letter,
written in July came yesterday
(December 11). Quite a long time
on the way. Sorry that I hadn’t
written you, but I wrote several
letters to Billy Johnson without
a line in reply, and had naturally
given up hope of hearing from any
of you..
As for me—came to France with
my mining partner. Lieutenant Rene
Haas, who was sent back to Alaska
to get “husky” dogs for work in the
\osges Mountains. Joined the
American ambulance, driving a Ford
there for three months, and then
joined the French Flying Corps with
Jim MacConnel, Walter Howell.
Harold Willis and Dudley Hill. Had
eight months’ schooling and was
sent to the front a year ago with
ihe Iufayette Escadrille, composed
of Americans. We have had some
had lasses and only four or five or
us left in the escadrille cf the men
who were here when I arrived We
have fifteen men and when one is
1 -st he is replaced by ail American
firm the schools. Lost nine men
this summer and two are prisoner!
in Germany. I’ve had a lot of good
luck, shot down twice and a number
of narrow escapes, but come smiling
each time. Also have had the joy
of spiling some Bocho blood, so if
they do get me, ‘Cap,’ I can’t com
plain. Can’t advise you as to the
best service, but really think that
artillery is best.
GOOD TIME IN PARIS
Aviation is great, but the glam
our soon wears off and one settles
dowyn to the grim war end of it in
a short time. We live very well and
are treated fine, with an occasional
opportunity to see Paris when we
go for machines or ”oa leave.”
Many Americans in Paris and I have
a splendr.d time while there. Ran
across a number of San Francisco
people on my last “leave” and we
had a regular S. F. table at Ciro’s
every day at tea time, then over to
the Chatham Bar at cocktail time,
where wo would meet again. Gor
don Armsky, Felton Elkins, Austin
Tubbs, Ken Monteagle and a lot
more—all great boys doing their
“bit.”
Wonder if you knew Doug Mac
Monagle? Oid Mac was killed at
Verdun, and it “busted me up” some
for I got him into the escadrille
after ho finished his schooling in
June. We were together all the
time on the ground and flying, too,
and ho had a glorious end fighting
four “Bochcs.” They got him with
a bullet in the ’ ead. Poor old Mac.
Mrs. MacMonagle lives in Paris
and is like a mother to me. Cali
fornia and San Francisco can well
be proud of her for she has not only
given Douglas to the cause, but has
given, all her energy and much
money to help the chidren and fam
ilies in need since the beginning cf
the war.
When America entered the war
they asked us if we wanted to
transfer to the American army. All
decided to transfer, and our com
missions have just arrived, and wo
are just waiting for our release
from the French Army. The re
lease will come through this week,
and then to Paris wc go for U. S.
uniforms.
Bill Thaw and Raoul Lufbery aro
majors, four, including myself, cap
tains, and the other boys are lieuten
ants. I’ll be quite a ‘cocky’ per
son—Captain, U. S. A., on my card.
Don’t care so much for the rank,
but th's pay will help a lot, for my
pay in the French army has just
been five francs a day, which is
less than $30 a month. in the
American army I’ll get. over $300
a month. “Some raise.”
Will enclose a picture,“Cap”,and
am only sc cry that. I haven’t a
batter ono. Give my host wishes
to Oke, Harry MacDonald, and all
the pals of days gon_> by. Only
pray that I can sete all of you in
California ere long. Tell ti e boys
to write, for a letter means a lot
to a fellow over here.
Love to your good mother,
KEN.
