ROUND AND ROUND

ROUND AND ROUND
Sleep and rouse up. Catnap and
fire. The night wears on. Sometimes
a passing truck sounds exactly like
a faraway plane. Frightened French
dogs bark in distant barnyards.
Things are always confusing and
mysterious in war. Just before
dawn an airplane draws nearer and
nearer. lower and lower, yet we get
no order to shoot and we wonder
why. But machine guns and bofors
guns for miles around go after it.
The plane comes booming on in,
in a long dive. He seems to be head
ing right at us. We feel like ducking
low in the pit. He actually crosses
the end of our field less than a
hundred yards from us, and only
two or three hundred feet up. Our
hearts are pounding.
We don't knew who he is or what
he is doing. Our own planes are not
supposed to be in the air. Yet If this
is a German why doesn't he bomb
or strafe us? We never find out.
The first hint of dawn comes.
Most of u6 are asleep again. Sud
denly one of the boys calls cut,
"Lcok What's that"
We stare into the faint light, and
there just above us goes a great,
silent. grotes esque shape, floating
slowly through the air. 1t is a
gkostly sight.
BARRAGE BALLOON
Then we recognize it, and all OF
Us feel a sense of relief. 1t is one CT
our barrage balloons which has
broken loose and is drifting to earth.
Something Snags it in the next field
and it hangs there poised above the
apple trees until somebody comes
and gets it long after daylight.
AS fuller light comes we start
lighting cigarets in the open The
battery commander asks over the
phone how many shells were fired
and tells Us our tentative score for
the night is seven planes shot down.
The crew is proud and pleased.
Dawn brings an imagined warmth
and we throw off our blanketS. Our
eyes feel gravelly and our head
groggy The blast of the gun has
kicked up so much dirt that cur
faces are as grimy as though we
had driven all night in dust storm.
The green Norman countryside Is
wet and glistening with dew
Then we hear our own planes
drumming in the distance. Suddenly
they pop out Of a cloud bank and
are over US. Security for another
day has come, and we surrender
willingly the burden of protecting
the beaches. The last Rest" is
given and we put the gun away un-
til another darkness comes.
