enough 10 obey that order; that his
brother was in a car on his way and
all Of the other men with whom he
had labored for so long were going

that he should be left and not get a
chance at the enemy

over 20 the military police, request
ing them TO handle him with some
feeling and send him back TO camp.

said. was the hardest task he had had
