deliberately equipped and more ca
pable of doing heavy, long-term
work.
Every infantry or armored di-
vision has an ordnance company
with it all the time. This company
does quick repair jobs. What it
hasn't time or facilities for doing
it hands on back to the next eche-
lon in the rear.
The division ordnance companies
hit the beach on D-Day. The next
echelon back began coming on D
Day plus four. The great heavy
outfits arrived somewhat later.
Today the wreckage of seven
weeks of war is all in hand, and
in one great depot after another
it is being worked out-repaired
or rebuilt or sent back for salvage
until everything possible is made
available again to our men who
do the fighting. In later columns
I'll take you along to some of
these repair companies that do the
vital work

WITH ERNIE PYLE

IN NORMANDY-(by wireless)
One Of the things the laylnan
doesn't hear much about is the
Ordnance department. In fact it
is one of the branches that even
the average soldier is little aware
of except in vague way.
And yet the war couldn't keep
going without it. For Ordnance re-
pairs all the vehicles of an army
and furnishes all the ammunition
for its guns.
Today there anr more vehicles
in the American sector of our
beachhead than in the average
sized American city. And our big
guns on an average heavy day
are shooting up more than $1O,-
000,000 worth of ammunition. So
you see Ordnance has a man-sized
job.
Ordnance personnel is usually
about six or seven per cent of the
total men of an army. That means
we have many thousands of ord
nancemne in Normandy. Their in
signe is a flame coming out of a
retort - nicknamed in the Army
The Flaming Onion"
Ordnance operates the ammuni-
ton dumps we have scattered
about the beachhead. But much
bigger than it's ammunition mis-
sion is Ordinances job of repair.
Ordnance has 275,00O items in it's
catalog itself cover a 2O-fott shelf.
catalog itself covers a 20-ffot shelf.
In central headquarters here
on the beachhead a modern filing
system housed in big tents keeps
records on the number and con-
dition of 500 major items in actual
use on the beachhead, from tanks
to pistols.
We have scores and scores of
separate ordnance companies at
work on the eachhead-each of
them complete firm within itself,
able to repair anything the army
uses.
Ordnance can lift a 3;-ton tank
as easily as it can a bicycle. It
can repair a blown-up jeep or the
intricate breech of mammoth
gun.
Some of its highly specialized
repair companies are made up
largely of men who were crafts
men in the same line in civil! life.

I In these companies you will fine
the average age is much above
the army average. You will fine
craftsmen in their late 40s, you'll
find men with their own establish
ed businesses who were making
$50, 900 to $4,000 year back home
and who are now wearing ser
geant's stripes. You'll find great
soberness and sincerity, plus the
normal satisfaction that comes
from making things whole again
instead of destroying them.
You will find an 10 far above
the average for the Army. 1t has
to be that way or the work would
not get done.
You'll find mechanical work be-
ing done under a tree that would
be housed in a $4,000 shop back
in America. You'll find men work
ing 16 hours a day, then sleeping
on the ground, who because of
their age don't even have to be
here at all.
Ordnance is one OF the undra-
matte branches of the Army. They
are the mechanics and the crafts
men, the fixers and the suppliers.
But their job is vital. Ordinarily
they are not in a great deal of
danger. There are times on newly
won congested beachheads when
their casualty rate is high, but
once the war settles down and
there is room for movement and
dispersal it is not necessary or
desirable for them to do their ba-
sic work within gun range.
Our ordnance branch in Nor
mandy has had casualties. 1t has
two small branches which will con-
tinue to have casualties-its bomb
disposal squads and its retriever
companies that go up to pull out
crippled tanks under fire.
But outside of those two Sec
tons, if your son or husband is in
Ordnance in France you can feel
fairly easy about his returning to

Ordnance in any way but to ease
your worries if you have someone
in this branch of the service over
seas.
Ordnance is set up in vast
structure of organization the same
as any other army command. The

Daily Prayer

AS we confess our sins before
Thee today, o forgiving Father,
we are sensible of our dullness Of
mind. We are not alert to GU 1
own offenses and shortcomings
We accept this war as something
remote from our own participa
ton. Our imaginations do
march ir step with our service
nle1; and we are insensible to
their sufterings Neither do we
see, with anointed eyes the needs
ct their home folk Still less do
We enylsdge a whole world bowed
beneath weight of woe We are
living commonplace lives, Az if
It's wer= a commonplace time.
Have mercy upon us, o LORD. For
give our great shortcomings. Stir
us wide awake by Thy provi-
dsnces. Grant us the grace of
quickened imaglnations, that we
be real snarers of this world or
deal. IT'S prayer we offer in the
name Of Thy sensitive Son. Amen.
