African InterIude

The tollo1Ding anonymous poem
t1aS 10ritten by a private on ship
en- route to Sicily.
There are silent rows OF crosses
From Bizerte to Arzew,
And around them stretch the flow
cred hills
OF red and white and blue.
For we faced no mean opponent
On this -storied shore,
And a heavy toll was paid
BY every unit In the corps.
Death looked down from every
djebel;
Death came soaring overhead,
Death was sown in every roadway
And lurked in every oued.
You might have been a dog face
Or driven a tank or truck,
But you did your job and faced It
And if you're still here, that's luck
The men who strung the wires
Or loaded deadly freight
Weren't issued many medals
But there's few who didn't rate.
And don't forget the nurses
Who have shared our risk and fare,
And the medics and stretcher teams
Who gave our wounded care.
And the engineers who waded
Into fields of mines and traps,
And the men who cooked the chow
Or pecked the keys or drew the
maps.
There are lots of jobs that must
be done, a
To win this kind Of war,
And victory's due to every man
And woman-in the corps!
So now farewell to Africa
And OF to other shores
The 2nd Corps Is second to none
The world wide Ger!

Mrs. Marcellino said yester-

pal craving of servicemen over

from home. In his last letter
he concluded with these senti-
ments:
Write at least every other
day. Give my love to all.
Don't worry about me. Every

There are plenty of thoughtful
men who tug at the heart strings,
like 1t. Comdr. Lloyd s. Hindman
Of Washington, Pa, who, when
asked what he wanted from Santa
Claus, said "just Christmas dinner
with my wife Bertha"
From q naval task force In the
Pacific Art Burgess, the A. P. man,
found the men want mail more than
anything else. Then the usual
things: Cigarette lighters (again, a
wrist watch, knives and wallets. It
seems wallets disintegrate rapidly in
that climate.
1t. Chh Binder, ships doctor,
told Mr.. Burgess he wants books,
detective stories preferred, for the
ships ward rooms.
The Marines at Guadalcanal are
special, and who wants to argue?
First, it their wives send pictures,
please pose in bathing suits, says the
Marines. And, certainly, why not be
the lads pin-up girl?
They want watches so badly they'll
take the dollar kind. Also razor
blades, razors Sounds like clean
army, wallets, knives and maga-
zines. There's one fabulous Marine
from Paducah, KY. Git must be the
Irwin Cobb in him), who wants a
dtctionary-at Guadalcanal!
Will Read Old Bills.
At another Pacific base Pvt. Jack
Roberts of Camp Wood, Tex, says
he wants mail SO badly, please for
ward old bills.
Ap-er Burgess listed these re-
quests formally, and then just broke
down in note to the New York desk
with this addenda: IF you really
want to be frank the boys want
nothing more than Cd leave home,
CD white women and ell whisky"
He says don't send cigarettes or
candy to the South Pacific. There's
plenty.
And under 1t all-every man, Just
wishful thinking-would like to walk
into the home gate Christmas morn
ing. The best substitute will be let
ters, And almost all say stick snap
shots into every letter. The fathers
want pictures most badly because
they realize their children are grow
ing up.
