Having moved wit ii them on several night marches i now know How ifs done the going was just As difficult is i thought it would by the Pace was slow one mile an hour in moving up to the lines was a i Good Speed. The soldiers usually i went in single file and they did not March. They just walked. I each Man had to pick and ice tor his own footholds. Sure you i fell Down you stepped into a Hole in tripped on a Telephone wire or stubbed your toe on a Rock and you went Down. But you got right up again and went on you tried to keep  e enough to the Man 114 front cd you that you could see his to in and followed him. Keeping a course at night is As Cill i it 11 it As navigating at sea.

And spend the next couple of Days wandering around the Hills asking everybody Abie across where company its funny How different nationalities have their Oil i Lent Little quirks for example one of the Small tilings that helped us in this Northern Campaign is the germans fear it the dark. It Iii Well established that the germans  not like night attack As one of oui soldiers said of course we dont like them either but the germans hate them worse than we .

It looks like any other of the thousands of rocks on the Hillside you can walk past it or stand on it and not know what s beneath and once you find it von can t get the gunners out without tearing it apart with your hands.

He was released the condition that he England before his pass tired. So the flying Hitchhiker greased up his thumb and got himself a ride Back Here Landing two Days after his ass had expired.

Tile basis of my authority is 18 months of dispatching with a transportation outfit. To a certain extent each outfit has its own regulations. In my of unit our Drivers were All Nisi meted not to pick up either Solidi in i civilians uni seen request of an officer. Also a Driver is responsible for his Argo and his vehicle he will i tiled of anything is damaged by Oiler than unavoidable causes. Five month ago our orders were changed to allow our Drivers to pick up soldiers of the Allied Fen is. It regulations permit a Din will usually pick up soldiers. It is True that transport regulations prohibit picking up civilians and men caught doing it arc punished. I know How pvt. Clark feels but orders is  cheer up better Days Are coming. A sgt. Ii. Hogue second the motion dear editor this letter concerns Cpl. Hilton i b. Turner s article about the a treatment it War prisoners. I think tier Corporal presented his Case very Well indeed. It pleased me because having read the same illicit that inspired him to action Herald Mol on in everything he is right. We cannot expect the same treatment in return from Axis prisoners. What can be happening at Bataan and Legator for instance you can be sure that Lune is no chosen american platoon Leader among the american prisoners there. And no Verdi no Crosby no movies or ire m Ain just nothing but putrid japs Leei my and hoping that each Day will contribute a few Mon deaths so they can gloat Over the Hilpl less in their own yellow fashion. The German and italian War prisoners Are our enemies to Ove r impress them with the great democratic ideals so soon is wrong they have not earn of so fair j treatment As yet. Lets Rani the hoopla and give Crosby movies and ice Cream to our own boys in larger quantities. A Cpl.
