Screaming; shells, tanks guns with their high shrill firing as fast as they can load. mortar shells falling. Blinding flares, look up. keep down; wait until your turn. Is your gun ready? They will come, watch the shadows.

"Bang." the old Italian farm house is on fire. Try to keep calm, watch your nerves, sucking your tongue to keep your mouth damp; every inch of your body is burning. Too much excitement! Shells scream in your head. think When you hear them coming visualize them coming into your hole. Keep your stomach down.

Your flesh Ls getting cold. very, cla.ny. you start to shake; jumping flesh all over. You try to keep calm, you want to get out of this hole and run, run. run; but where into another? You wish you were smaller or could be a ground mole and get down into the earth under maybe a root of a shrub.

What is that? Machine guns are firing. You snap out of it, ready for them. The joy and thrill of battle is starting to wear into your shaking body, you strain your eyes looking for them. they near the house silhoutted by the fire. They are like mad men crouching and coming, rifles fixed.

and gun powder is filling the air, burnt oil vapor Ls filling your lungs, you continue to fire. Slowly everything dies down to the dark morning once again. You look around, shell holes are too near. You have forgotten the artillery shells during your little part in the task, you never heard them screaming and exploding. They were everywhere, you were fighting for your life.

life is so dear at Mud and shell fragments everywhere. Lord; thankful I'm living to see the gray dawn of day again. Everything was forgotten; another nightmare of death. Looking at the shell-torn ground first wet by rain and now by blood and loyal blood. Heroes of the battle are being carried away, to rest in a foreign land.

The wounded are being cared for. Some of these will also join the heroes of the battle. They gave everything and a-'ked nothing. Their long hours of rest are now here. They live and enjoy the freedom of a free country, where you have vour rights and liberty.
