In other hatches worked Sii Nul neapolitan Sich to once Road Beautiful now Highway of death blessed by a staff correspondent with the Anglo american fifth army in Italy a the ten mile Ocean Cliff drive from Salerno to Amalfi often described by travellers As the most Beautiful bit of Road in the world has now become one of War s strangest battlefields. Liis winding coastal Boulevard hued with infinite patience out of Rock tha rises almost sheer from the Blue Mediterranean now carries More traffic in a single Day than it carried in peacetime monthly and the traffic is far More deadly. In those Lovely Bays and inlets where sailed and bathed the worlds Royalty and society fire spitting warships Are harboured and Grimy yanks and mommies Bathe. It is one of the strange sensations of War to sleep one night at Almaine world famous Marina Riviera. The next night on the ground under the drenching of this regions first fall rain to eat a leisurely dinner at Ravello a hotel Palumbo and c rations 12 hours later in a foxhole. For though All prewar standards of luxury have disappeared this famous vacation Paradise strives to keep up appearances. The Yankee Soldier is not difficult to please. All the resorts hotels and Villas Are now coming under military supervision and Many under direct requisitioning but for the first few Days the invading doughboy lived the life of a King. No doubt Many of them in years to come will toddle a grandson on their aging knee and begin a a now when i dined at the hotel Mercedes Mira Mare a the neapolitan Villas clinging to the Cliffs or peeking out of cavities in the Cliffs Shine with whiteness. Where there Are no Cliffs there Are Steep terraced ridges the work of centuries. These terraces Are shaded by luxuriant Chestnut Trees by Orange and grape arbours and so Are the paths and so in spots is the very Highway itself. For contrasting color there Are dazzling yellow Cornflower and the Bright italian Sun. For the backdrop there is the Blue Mediterranean. And then the Brown powder puffs again Rise from the warships offshore and a second later comes the muffled explosion of the four and six Inch guns to re Echo off the Cliffs and through the dells on the Road from Salerno to Amalfi. The Beauty vanishes and men return to War. % medallists tumbled out of their wooden bunks in the morning pulling on fatigues talking about yesterdays  there a Quot were Quot Jee tonnage and he had known them trucks and Smau Field artillery when to came in at night dirty i pieces both boxed and unbowed.
