MAKES UP BUNK

EXpertly he made up the bunk,
using the second blanket to cover
the pillow. He didn't have 10 tell
these old-timerS not 10 let any
wrinkles show.
The bed-making was different
from anything they had ever seen
before, but wrinkles always were
out of fashion in the army. They
went back 10 their own hunks,
each surrounded by 10 or dozen
recruits, and did the Job just as
well as the corporal had.
Cundiff had some trouble with
his. The darned blankets bulged.
A gray haired man came over, a
tall, quiet fellow, neatly dressed.
whom the rookie had observed
reading a mystery novel through
out the long wait at the recruiting
station.
He was one of the former serv-
ice men, they didn't take men of
his age into the army unless he
did have prior enlistment.
Here, SON" the older man
said Lets yank off these
blankets and try all over again.
Ill bet you'll find the troubles
with the sheets" lie pretended
to be showing the boy. but i'm
reality he virtually made up the
bunk himself.
Its been % years since I've
had To make up my own bed"
he said, but | guess I never lost
the knack. Took me months to
learn, though"
Cundiff thanked him and asked.
"YOu were I'm the last ware" The
man nodded. yeah, Fifth Field,
First Division" The boy said
eagerly, "My dad was i'm the artil-
lery, too. He was sergeant
chief OF a gun section" He named
the battery and regiment. and the
man said. "YOur dad and 1 must
have seen each other. We relieved

swell outfit. as I remember"
PLEASED TO HEAR 1T
Private Cundiff of course. had
known that all along, but he was
Ipleased 10 hear II from the lips
of stranger.
He told him that he was going
into the artillery, too. if they'd let
him. ~ hope they'll take me

and had done peacetime bitches in
the regulars, others were unshaven
and Smelled of cheap whisky.
Well, he was in for II now. He
was in the army for the duration
and for six months afterward. His
mother had been game about IT.
He was all she had now. but she
did not discourage him when, after
Pearl Harbor. he had told her he
wanted 10 follow in his fathers
footsteps.
He wanted to be an artillery
sergeant like his dad was in 1918
and fire 155 howitzerS and drive
a tack with big HE shells at nine
miles.
His father had been dead for
eight years, and yet the boy could
remember as wildly as yesterday
the tales he had told of the Ar
gonne and St. Mihiel and the TouI
sector and the VoSges front. The
pride nc took in his old regiment
