Wounded Officer Captures
SiciIiun HOSPITAL Unoided

oner patients were taken to a large
Italian hospital near Messina where
they remained for three weeks.
There were three other officers, two
British and one American, and a
group of enlisted men. They were
guarded closely but treated well.
Allied and enemy planes constant
ly roared overhead. The building,
conspicuous on high hill, evi-
IDENTIFY served as navigational
point for both sides.
Through the window Capt. Curch-
ard could see the German forces
being evacuated toward MesSina in
every sort of vehicle it could requi-
sition. He knew that the end OF
the campaign was close at hand.
About midnight on August IA the
hospital underwent its worst air
raid. Patients were hurriedly moved
downstairs. Capt. Curchard's per-
sonal. guard deserted him for an
air-raid shelter. He was alone on
an upper floor. Limping about
painfully, he found pistol in one
of the officers rooms. Armed with
this he calmly limped out of the
hospital in the darkness and started
to walk into the country. With the
aid of . cane which he found, he
walked about 10 miles through rocks
and bushes, keeping about 20 yards
from the side of the road.
At dawn he came to a road juno

ton and hid in the bushes nearby
Many German vehicles passed him.
Then he saw car which differed
in appearance from the others.
There was = star painted on the
side. He was weak. He thought it
might be an advance Allied patrol.
Standing in the road, he hailed the
car. 1t turned out to be a Sd Di-
vision artillery reconnaissance car
which had gone beyond the German
lines.
Since the fall Of Messina appeared
inevitable in a short time Capt.
Curchard, on the spur of the mo-
ment, formed the bold plan to 60
ing back to the hospital and blufflng
the staff into surrender. He per-
suaded the Americans to continue
towards Messina.
Calmly, pistol in hand, he walked
into the commandant's office.
Americans are in Messina." he
told him. If you surrender to me
now I may be able to save you a
lot of trouble"
He pointed to the jeep by the

Delayed Action Mine
In Post Office Kills
Scores in Naples
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. Oct. 8.-Explosion of a
cleverly hidden, delayed-action mine
killing scores, and perhaps hundreds.
in conquered Naples emphasized
anew today the caution with which
Allied forces must move through
former enemy territory.
The Germans long have been mas
ters in planting explosives to i'm
pede the progress of pursuing
army, but the havoc reported
wrought by yesterdays blast sur
passed any act of destruction the
Nazis have previously achieved in
absentia.
A dispatch from Noel Monks, rep
resenting the combined British press,
said the mine, hidden in the base
ment of the Naples post Office, con-
tanned several hundred tons of high
explosives.
Mr.. Monks dispatch said scores of
italian citizens. including many
women and children, were blown to
bits as the whole pavement in the
Via Armondo Diaz was flung into
the air.
Hundreds of Neapolitans were Wis
iting the post Office, only public
building left intact by the Germans
when they left a week ago, and were
endeavoring to communicate with
relatives living in districts occupied
by the Allies.
Virtually every one on the ground
floor was killed, Mr. Monks said.
Persons in the street a block away
and others in adjoining buildings
also died Some soldiers were among
the dead.
The correspondent said he visited
the scene within a few minutes of
the explosion and counted the bodies
of Is children
British and American Red Cross
services on the scene worked at high
pressure for several hours to help
clear the dead from the debris and
give aid to the wounded
Hundreds Of Neapolitans worked
themselves into hysteria calling for
vengeance against the Germans.

At the present time, the chief topic of discussion seems to be cen tered on the coming furlough of the Band. Many of us just can't believe that the next ten days will actual ly be free for us to do as we wish. Most of the fellows have mapped out plans for their furlough, but the best plan of all concerns Fred die Maresh, who is leaving our bachelors contingent and joining the matrimonial ranks while on his furlough. Our heartiest congratu- lations and best wishes to Freddie and Ann, (the missus).
 Have arrived at the definite con- clusion that many other people be- sides the Band read our column. The best example of this is Tony Marcopoto's recent statement that because of the lines written about him in last weeks paper, he has actually received two voluntary dates. I'm beginning to wonder if he has hit upon the successful sys- tenn of entertaining a girl with that long-haired stuff.
 If, by any chance, many of you are wondering what that loud "smacking noise" is inside the room in the Gym, it probably would be the boys in the Band playing handball. Our "Terror of the Court, Resin, believes it is fine game and challenges anyone at random in the Band to fast and furious game. Personally, I would suggest a game between Borrelli and Majewski so that Husky could pick a partner. How about it boys
