S,"11 111 Quot so the roving reporter by Emit Pyle in Sicily about the Only re karst icon that Omar a Bradley a Ever Mahonn was when he was promoted to lieutenant general in june just after Tunisia. He knew the promotion had Pone to Congress he saw it published in the papers he even received letters of congratulations from Washington and yet he would t pin on the third Star until orders actually were in his hands some weeks later. Bradley Seldom gets nervous is never excited. Once Here in Sicily a sniper took a Potshot at him As he was Riding in a command ear. Whereupon the general with two enlisted men. Got out of the car and started looking for the sniper. Armed Only with their carbines. The sniper beat it and Uliey  find him. On the Day that we launched our final victorious attack West of a amp eur last Spring the general suddenly had nothing to do. He had planned and worked Stren Cus by for weeks to prepare it but Onoe it was under Way lie could Only wait. Crack shot the personal inaction that Day did make him a Little nervous. To he called the two Young captains who Are he aides and they started out for a Long talk. Back in the Hills far away from everything they stopped and the captains threw Rock a into the air while the general cracked them with his Rifle. That was what he did while the Battle was on. Men. Bradley is notoriously Good with a Rifle. He has a sergeant Dri vet who has been with 1dm for years and one reason Why he likes him so much is that the sergeant is a crack shot too. In his younger Days Bradley was very athletic. He was a second string football Man at West Point and a regular on the baseball team. Baseball is his greatest love. He played left held for three years at the Point and Bock in the states never misses a Chance to see a big league game. A sportsman he still holds the record for the longest baseball throw Ever made at West Point. He has forgotten now How far it was. But he says it a a gets longer by in Geld every year. He is a Good golfer and in peacetime usually played a couple of times a week but when War was declared he gave up Golf for the duration. He and my Bradley both play Bridge and the general is a Good poker player he plays for moderate stakes and keeps a Quot poker fund so that any losses can be payed out of that and not effect the family budget. Hunting stands alongside baseball As his great love. Back Home he had two Bird dogs Quot Molly and Quot Peter. When he came overseas he gave Quot Pete Quot to an army Friend and mrs. Bradley Kepi  a third one. A tip who was 14 years old. Died just before he a left Back in Georgia when he was commandant at pm Benning his usual Hunting partners were some of his enlisted men. Birthplace Gen. Bradley was born in my bar a by. Mo., on Lincoln s birthday of i893. His Home town of Moberly has recently named its no put aft her him. And while i was with him he received a letter from Moberly. The envelope was air printed up with big slogans about the a dedication of Bradley Fields hone of deut. Gen. Bradley and had a picture of him on the envelope. Gen. Bradley looked at it and said simply to looks funny to pet a letter with your own picture on it does no to it Bradley graduated from West Point in 1915. He Rose to the tem Crary rank of major during the it War but All his service was in the United states. Today he says Quot i be spent 25 years trying to explain Why 1 was t overseas in the last War so thank goodness i be been spared that this time they say that when he got his orders to come overseas last Winter he was As Happy As a Bug. Prepared during his Long army career Bradley served twice on the faculty at West Point did one three year hitch in Hawaii spent Many years in command schools preparing for just such a wartime Job As he has now and wound up in 1941 As a brigadier general in command of it Benning.

Kieth Ireland was bom in Fairfield. Iowa and was brought a there by his grandmother. Raymond Ireland was born in new York and what with one a thing and another the two Brothers never did get to see each other. Then the red Cross found out that they were both in Africa. A meeting was arranged and Kieth and Ray said Quot hello for the first time. Here is one of those stories we Don t vouch for but simply pass on for what it May be Worth.

They were rescued by an american flyer off Casa. Blanca. A any suggestions dear editor we Are the victims of a very unusual situation existing in North Africa. We Are casuals. A great number of us arrived in one Pool As soon As we disembarked from our boat a few months later we were sent out on detached service with an air depot group doing work for which we weren to trained. While on detached service permanent assignments came through for us. However the commanding officer of the Field froze All men on detached service preventing us from being released to fulfil these assignments. He stated that we were doing work vital to i it Gar editor the War Effort which was entirely false As we were just remaining Idle. A Power Turret school in the unit states october 10. 1942. It i in possible to change our Clas Ifica Tion until october 10, 1943 and then it seems like an awful waste of the governments Money if do change it. We would like to remain in our present classification if at All possible. We would like to have suggestions As to How we can be oort permanently assigned and copied within an outfits table of organization. Power Turret men a complaint also while on detached service with this air depot group we were assigned to another air depot v group and carried As overages in their table of organization. A Little while later when the air. Depot group to which we were assigned moved we were trans ered to the air depot group we had been on detached service with All along. We Are carried of their table of organization As overages also. Prom All indications and the facts certainly Point to the conclusion that we will be transferee Horn one outfit to anon her. Always carried As oversees never Able to work on the Job we went to school to learn and which the government paid Good Money to teach us. We graduated from the j we the enlisted men of the u s. Army in North Africa wish to make a complaint about the commissioned officers. We want to know Why an officer can come into an enlisted menus red Cross club despite the fact that there is a sign stating Quot enlisted men  v can t they read or do they need glasses it i it not bad enough that they Force their Way in but when they spot a woman talking to a Doggie they just have to butt in and take her away leaving the dog foe sitting with his Mouth open.
