Doughboys & Camp Greene Mecklenburg County, NC 1917-1918

September 1, 1918

Immediately after breakfast we roll our packs and set them outside of our billets and begin cleaning them out (the billets). We move our cots out and give the floor a good sweeping and take all trash and other waste to a hole and burn it. We wait all day with rolled packs, but we fail to get moving orders as were expected. Late in the afternoon we carry our cots back into the billets and unroll our packs, as we will have to use the blankets at night.

I work on the kitchen police all day washing dirty pots and bringing water from the water cart that is about 100 yards away for cooking and washing purposes. We have a physical examination at 7:30 p. m., and every man is supposed to be present. It does not take us long to finish washing pots after supper.
