cans" said one German spokesman.
You're Englishmen in American uni
forms. The Americans can't bring
over troops because the U-boats are
sinking their transports
One day when the Sammies had an
afternoon off two companies ball
teams fought out the regimental
championship on a typical old sand
lot. Working in a distant field, the

One of the players met a boche on
his way back.
