After all if it wasn't for your great-great-grandfather's face which scared Paul Reveres horse out of the hiccoughs just before he started his midnight ride no telling how the Revolutionary war might have turned out And there was great-grandpeppy Allen who used to pick up General Grants cigar butts during the Civil war Nothing like keeping a battlefield neat and tidy you know And if Grandpappy Allen hadn't taught the Cubans how to do the rhumba during the Spaniah-Arnerican war where would our civilization be today? I-le developed the movement trying to swat a fly without taking his hands out of a with-basin-And don't forget Cousin Barker who was caught as a Yankee spy on Flatbuan avenue during the recent Brooklyn-N York war His famous last words before he wss executed were: ain't seyin nuttle" So you see you have a great tradition behind you in addition to the finance company Keep your chin up your spirits high your powder dry and will you lend Uncle Petey hie false teeth back for a day or two as he is in love and wants to bit his fingernails With all our love Your sister Gracie Allen On one side of the cake she drew a "frosting cartoon" of a captain peeling potatoes with -a private hovering over him holding a book The book bore the title "Hypnotism in Three Easy Lessons' Speaking for the ocildiers young Lavery wrote to Misal Fisher: "Gee whiz that was a swell cake! Thanks a million You should have seen the guys who came to see it Even the majors and colonels of our regiment were raving about it but I think I raved the wildest We even took pictures we were so proud of it Then we ate it and it just melted in our mouths "But you shouldn't have sent It While it helped our morale It lowered the morale of everyone else Now all the boys are jealous of us three" The "three musketeers" are forever getting Into mischief Miss Fisher said She recalled the time young Wimmer missed going on maneuvers because he overslept "The reason he didn't get up on time" she explained "was because he didn't get to bed on time They're pretty good at slipping in after taps "But they're not bad fellows They're just full of mischief" In her last letter from Deon he confessed that he was getting "terribly homesick" "We just don't have anything to do here" he said Camp San Lula Obispo Cal Three pair of dice with the deuces facing upward can be found on the sides of army trucks on the sleeves of khaki shirts on tents on barracks on flags everywhere atCamp San Luis Obispo Cal Even the buglers have them engraved on their terrible instruments and the cooks stamp them into their pastry For three deuces is the unofficial Insgnia of the 222nd field artillery The design which formerly graced only regimental trucks now adorns the equipment of every unit in the 222nd field artillery The men of battery El a gunnery group brand their private cars with it Many of the men in the regiment have the pattern tattooed on their muscles It even has come to the point when if a soldier has a few minutes to spare in the vicinity of a massive oak tree instead of cutting a heart pierced with Cupid's arrow in the bark he will engrave yes the sign of the three deuces Camp Sao Luis Obispo Cal Second Lieutenant Gordon Christiansen has a man sized job of letter reading cut out for rather pasted together for him Rookie Rises From Ranks Camp San Luis Obispo CaL A virtual "barn"

funds to supplement4 the donation with ball gloves bats boxing gloves footballs and other athletic equipment Battery plans to make good use of the new sports supply and become a crack athletic outfit according to a report received by The Salt Lake Discusses Morale We don't hear much about the defense program the draft and affairs at home but from what I can learn the nation is troubled with morale Every magazine or paper I pick up carries an article about the 'alarming morale problem' "In the dictionary it says that morale is an attitude of a body of mental state toward spirit or confidence But how on earth can they ten whether morale is bad until some kind of hardship has been encountered Now I know that I might be slightly prejudiced being in the regular navy But darned if I can see what these draftees have to sing about I wonder what one of the poor fellows would do if he were to find himself in this the farthest small island situated at the entrance of historic Manila bay It is extremely well fortified It I'm to judge what I have seen There-are three separate settlements something' like the layers of a cake You guessed it Their official names are: Topside (where I live) Middleside and Bottomside The place's official designation is Fort Mill but everyone calls it the rock'" Sailor Smith was stationed at Hong Kong China before he came to the Philippines He tells about his travels and duties in his letter home "Hong Kong of course Is the most interesting apot I've ever been with its high peak tramway where a person may gaze across the wonderful scenic beauty of the island for hours" he writes "Hong Kong is the only place I have ever visited which fully-lived up to my ex He recently received a letter measuring 20 feet in length from a former chum Donald Everett of 1207 South Eleventh I East street It was never intended to reach Such a size according to Mr Everett but each time he wrote to his soldier friend he would tuck the letter away in his desk i to be mailed tomorrow" One by one the messages be-an accumulate until Mr Everett felt -that he could postpone mailing them no longer 4 So he pasted them all together which resulted in the monstrous SO-foot

Camp Wolters Texas: Rising from the ranks is not uncommon in the army of the 'United States However to rise from the ranks in less than five months and to receive an additional promotion as an instructor of the same class of "rookies" to which you recently belonged is quite a feat Don Rue Hickman was sent from his home in Sa Itna Utah to Fort Bliss Texas on July 6 1941 After a short time at this camp he received a promotion to the rank of corporal Later he qualifed in the competitive examinations with high honors and was one of two men chosen to be sent to Camp Wolters Texas to train the

entertain the general with his music he did not anticipate an ambush from above- So naturally he was surprised when a big blond German dropped from the sky into his arms But the German who had not expected to-land on top of an 'Anzac soldier was even more surprised "One squint into the muzzle of my service rifle and the nazi pale with terror was screaming 'don't shoot don't shoot' in perfect English" wrote young Pyke in a report to his aunt Mrs Newbern Butt of Lehi "I let the chap go and found that he had a beautiful wife and child in Germany who will be grateful He told me that his name was Hans Tesslau and that he was 21 years old" "Tiny" Pyka as the towering six-foot-three Anzac Is known to his buddies has achieved empire-wide fame as a soldier and a musician He wrote the March ing

German sniper who had killed two Anzacs in Crete "Tny" volunteered with a' party of three which was sent out to outflank the deadly rifleman That night the party separated and only two of the boys returned Nothing was seen nor heard of the fighting musician and most of the boys reckoned he was a goner Two days later a fierce-looking blond-bearded giant ravenous with hunger and thirst stalked into camp When they asked about the Luger and German harness he was carrying "Tiny" said simply: "There's one so-and-so who won't do any more sniping" ru my SIG BROTIMR ItiaA aBOUT MIS 12S-tw FIELD
