The roving reporter by Ernie Pyle a i in Sicily As you All know who have followed this column we be kept our pen pointed mainly at the common soldiers the Well known i for to these Many months and let the exalted Biga command shift for itself. But now for the next few Days we Are going to reverse things and write wholly about an american general. We Are doing this because he is pretty important and not very Well known to the Public and because i think you might feel a Little better to know what kind of a Man is in direct charge of your boys who Are doing the fighting in Sicily. I tile Man we speak of is it. Gen. Omar Nelson Bradley who commands a corps. Gen. Bradley is what you might Call third in command Oxer Here. Gen. Eisenhower is at the top of everything it Gen. George s. Patton or. Is head Man of All our forces in Sicily. And it. Gen Bradley commands the corps which has been making the main Effort. Gen. Bradley has Bien written about very Little and would continue to be written about very lit in if he had his Way. He is innately modest and Humby. And on top of that he knows that tin much publicity can sometimes wre it k a Man s career but he also realizes that when a Soldier is in his position he More or less becomes Public proper y and is bound to be written about so he has consented graciously to me doing this series on him admires general Hie distinguished service medal and decorated twice by tile Trench. He has continued in command of a corps during the sicilian Campaign and again handled it with distinct Ion. Nobody knows what is ahead for him but we who have seen him work cannot believe that his path leads anywhere but upward. When Gen. Bradley first showed up at Hafsa he baldly said a word for two weeks he just worked around absorbing everything getting acquainted and telling everybody to just keep right on doing jobs just As they had been. Fact he has t said very right up to the moment yet a few weeks his influence began to be Felt and gradually bebop anyone was hardly aware of it.

When her soil Jon became a paratrooper mrs. Cathrine Broderick wrote him a note Jon today you Are a paratrooper and a thought laces through my mind whatever does a Chutis think up in a plane while flying Blind they say he Seldom knows from where they take their jumps it May be Over Sand dunes lakes or Mountain humps i keep wondering is he insane to risk his life like that jumping i rom a transport plane in sixteen seconds Flat Ive heard you re super human boys with love Lur what you do Well dear Jon paratrooper the Best of Luck to you after Reading his Mother s note. Jon answered for All paratroopers to All mothers mom dear we All have different thoughts but me i reminisce of pleasant things from Home i hear a letter with a kiss it might be from you Mother or the girl i left behind and then i recall a Little prayer that has stayed within my mind. You sent it in a letter. Kotlier during my training grind and As i stand hooked up in line. For orders yelled so Clear i whisper confidentially god is All i know no fear he is with me he is Down below in the space that hangs after i hear a a lets go a now spreads the silk which holds me still Drifting Down to Earth once More the Swallow glides with ancient thrill to prove to you his Worth. Topical about town discussion is now entered on Hie new relationship Between the was and commissioned officers and the discussion has veered into the Charm is of whether or not enlisted men will have the social barriers that now stands Between them and army nurses torn Down. Fro and con arguments Are sweeping the town irom Liaison Blanche to the a a Oft limits signs skirting the Nasbah and Many nurses have leaped to the pro forces or in other words the enlisted men. In regards to the new Waco a of i leers social standing one doughboy asks Quot does a wac appearing tor a Date swing up to a smart Salute and crisply announce �?Tt-4 Mary Mill reporting to it. Col. John Jones for Date As ordered a and in the midst of a tight embrace does the romantic colonel gaze fondly into his Khaki Clad companion s starry eyes and murmur. �?Tt-4 Smith Why Haven t i met you before a a but a doughboy a we hardly believe the colonel would ask that last question because he would no doubt realize that before the new social ruling came into effect he  have had the Opportunity to pop that question. However the main topic up for discussion still remains the present standing Between nurses and enlisted men and what do Vou think i make no Bones about tile fart that i am a tremendous Admix r of Gen. Bradley. I done to believe i be Ever known a person to be so unanimously loved and respected by the men around and under him. In writing about him it would be easy to execute him with Over Praise so i will deliberately try to avoid that. Gen. Bradley came to Africa in mid february and joined the frontline troops at Hafsa in Central Tunisia during the bitter fighting at Al Huettar. He was Deputy corps commander then under Gen. Patten. After Al Huettar. Gen. Patton was called Back to work on preparations for the sicilian invasion and Gen. Bradley was put in command of second corps for the final great phase of our fight in Northern Tunisia. He handled that Campaign so Well that after it was All Over he was promoted to it. General Given us hand and now every Man in it would go to hell and Back for him. Simple Ani great one Day a colonel stopped me under a tree and said this about the general he has the greatness of simplicity and the Sim Lii Ity of greatness. A second lieutenant Friend of mine who has served with the canadians and w to has twice been decorated for bravery told me this Quot he is the finest off Quot or. Without any ext option that Ive Ever served  one night i was sitting with a Bunch of enlisted men in Hie dusk and one of them snid Are tim r Orre Vonc buffs awake to Gen Bradley do they know what a Fine Man he is a and now and then you la hear a it a pendent remark like this a a say that Bradley is my Man i think he san old  they always say it As though they Welt startled and quite pleased at their own sagacity in suddenly having discovered it. But Bradley Isnit an old Fox at All. He a too direct to he a Fox of he has two outstanding traits they Are simplicity and honesty there is no pretence about him either in method or personality. He s just what he is in the simplest form. And that happens to be a Plain mid Westerner with common sense and common honesty who a studied and practice All his adult life for the Job he a doing now. And he a doing it in just the same Calm and ordained Way that we would play a game of Bridge or drive a car to the station. Mail Call this and that. Like the Story of and pvt. R. Lyons Are now lingering nearby convalescent but. M Bellos two lads who awhile in a Camp alter a bit of rough stuff in Tunisia these boys Weie so moved by the great russian Victory at Orel they promptly collected ten pounds or 40 dollars i rom their friends at the Camp and forwarded the Money to the russian ambassador in London the lads enclosed institutions that the Money was to be used in purchasing medical supplies tor wounded russian soldiers. Aside to a. Bottomley try the army special services Section for that piano music. They May Ceable to help you. They say t-5 Hilda Gault and a sgt. O. Richton have discovered each other. The us. Navy would certainly Aid the american female population by taking Over Errol Flynn s yacht. Those three Cooks who prefer to be known As cookies a Are pvt. Joseph g. Muster of Joliet 111., pfc James b. Buzzed of Detroit and Cpl. Joseph Toto of new York City. And speaking i of names pfc. John Hazuda of j Williamstown pa., is known As the a a pumper of Algiers.�?�.

Dick Bruner Nan Rae wac dear editor we have was with Beauty with brains with finesse yes and even with Glamor but alas we have no one wac successfully combining or using All those qualities. Some super Salesman has Given a mythical creature said to possess All those attributes the name of Nan Rae probably alter the movie and radio artiste wearing the euphonious Moniker. How eve r.

Borg apparently hmm for the above written on stationery Mousey Brown retire was Jolly to ride on of Fame even for Nan Rae wac e. J. C. Deny to ii Ere is such a letter Aas of Allied Force Headquarters. Office of com Mander in chief a editor. The crazy Drivers dear editor my purpose in writing is to ask you to Start the Ball rolling in a Campaign against a he reckless driving of the French soldiers and civilians. Its All our fault that is nearly All our fault because we put in their hands the deadly 6x6 and that dangerous weapon the jeep. Since we did not warn them of what to expect from these death dealing vehicles perhaps we had better Start an educational plan. When a vehicle takes one cd the Many Corners around Here on two wheels and the people standing or walking along the Road cant by heard in their screams of excite mint for the screech of the tiles i get sick thinking about cur folks Back Home saving like mad and for what ? Why does no to the my motorcycle cops act As Baltic cops for last and reckless driving. That would be something useful to do rather than watching to see if some lowly ii i vate is holding hands with a wac or smoking a pipe on the Street. Lets Bear Down on these finer a and i Drivers who insist on taking unnecessary risks and Chain is aimed at the pedestrians. You can Mart the Ball rolling. It will be a hard Job though i Don t think that will frighten you. A pfc. Paul a. Hunter questions dear editor will you please answer the following questions the issues involved have stirred up a considerable amount of discussion Here. 1. Is the Boundary line of Rhode Island composed exclusively of water or is it directly joined to the Mainland without a River or water of any kind intervening 2. Should we still be involved in War when the next presidential election takes place and should Franklin d Roosevelt be Defeated would the new president take Over Oil the duties and responsibilities of the presidential office or would his predecessor continue in office until Hie War had ended a but. Tom Bradley the Boundary connected to no int Erven 1. A Large part of of Rhode Island is the main land with ing water. 2. Of Franklin d. Roosevelt runs and is Defeated in the nest election. The new president will take Over regardless of whether or not the War is still
