CHAPTER III.
] Go to Church.

Upon enlistment we had identity
disks issued to US. These were small
disks of red fiber worn around the neck
by means of string. Most of the Tom
mics also used a little metal disk which
they wore around the left wrist by
means of chain. They had previous
ly figured it out that if their heads
were blown off, the disk on the left
wrist would identify them. If they lost
their left arm the disk around the neck
would serve the purpose, but if their
head and left arm were blown off, no
one would care who they were, so it
did not matter. On one side Of the
disk was inscribed your rank, name,
number and battalion, while on the
other was stamped your religion.

leyan; p, Presbyterian; but if you
happened to be an atheist they left it
blank, and just handed you a pick and
