Sammy to the hospital today-with a

The Sammy was member of an
American patrol lying in close prox-

and the soldiers throat tickled. He
gulped a couple of times and then

The explosion smashed windows
everywhere and scattered a rain
of plaster over the colonels bed.
Two minutes later we found the

handling some hot fragments of
