tons of fighting men often occur
faster than packages travel.
A corporal received ducky little
electrically-light Christmas tree
and he can't even smoke after dark.
.Foxhole1 Pillow Received
A sergeant. majors mother sent
an expensive pair of low cut dress
shoes-and few hours ago he was
slogging between gun positions in
sWampy muck up to his waist
A top sergeant was surprised
with box of cigars SO that he
could enjoy a good smoke. after
that Christmas dinner plus two
cigarette lighters-and he doesn't
smoke. As to that Christmas dinner,
it consisted of corned beef hash.
A private's girl thought a fox
hole pillow, made and sold under
that name, would be just the thing.
OF course, she didn't realize that
you don't get comfortable in a fox
hole unless you want to drown.
Cook receives Corned Beef
A technical sergeant received his
parcel to find six golf balls, prob
ably worth their weight in gold
back in the States, and he's been
thousands of miles away from a
golf course for months.
Most of the dress blue uniforms
are mildeWing in seabags far away
but at least one Marine received
a gadget to polish his buttons and
brass.
The gift of gifts came to cook
two cans of corned beef and two
cans of Vienna sausage-and he's
nearly crazy from weeks of trying
to concoct palatable recipes from
these two staple Marine chow"
commodities.
