SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND,

SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND,
May Body wizeless)-I wen out
the other day with a tank-destroy-
er unit. They have been over mere
long enough to form an opinion OF
English weather but you can't
print it in nice newspaper ike
this.
It was the first time in ages l
had been with a combat outflt
which had not yet been in battle.
There isn't so much difference as
you might think. The really no
ticeable difference ie their eager
ness to "get a crack at the Jer-
rice" After they've been cracking
at them a few months they'll oe
just as eager to let somebody else
have a turn at it.
But outside of that they talk ana
act about the same as men VINO
have been in combat. They cuss a
lot, razz each other about their
home states, complain about the
food, take great pride in their
guns, and talk about how they
wish they were home, just as
though they had been away Tor
years.
This unit has been training to-
gether for nearly two years. Ihey
don't yet realize what a terrlflc
advantage that gives them, but
they will realize it as soon as they
are in battle.
They are a vast team of fire
power composed of dozens OF little
teams, each one centering around
one gun. They have done it so
long they know automatically what
to do. They all know every man
on the team and they know his
personality and how he will react.
They have faith in each other.
Only those who have fought know
what confidence that produces.
A typical gun commander is Sgt.
Dick Showalt5r, of Munice, Ind.
I have a special reason for men,
tioning him. For while was talk
ing with a group of soldiers he
came up and introduced himself
and said:
Il married girl from your
home town."
Now things like that are always
happening to me, except that nine
times out of ten the people are
mixed up. People will come up
and say, Don't you remember
me? I used to deliver papers at
your house." And it will turn out
they lived in a town I had never
heard of. and were thinking of two
other fellows.
When Sergeant Showalter said
he had married girl from my
home town I slightly arched my
handsome eyebrows and said,
"Yes?"
Yes" he said Il married
Edna Kuhne.''
Why" I said, II was raised

Interpreting
The War
BY KIRKE L. SIMPSON
Associated Press War Analyst

Bitter German resistance -
slowing the Allied advance on
Rome along the 25-mile Valmon-
tone-Tiber delta front in the north
but to the south the Alexander
.piston" technique gained ground
to warrant General Clark's Dec
Grafton day prediction that the Al
lies will soon enter the Eternal
City. .o
Eighth army seizure of Arce
PERMITTED General Alexander to
open a second ''pistonhead" drive
up the Liri valley toward Avez-
zano central communication hinge
of the lettering Nazi trans-pennln-
sular front. His right flank forces
were reported we'll into the mouth
of the upper Liri valley toward
sora along the Arce : Avezzano
road.
Capture of Isola, cutting the lso-
la Frosinone lateral connection,
will split apart German armies in
the Liri and Sacco valleys. They
are separated by the massive ST.
moruini ridge that runs from
Nor Invest to southwest for IS
miles, with only foot trails cross
ing to link the two valleys.
Frosinon's tate Sealed
Enemy forces guarding the Sora
entrance to the upper Liri are only
IS airline miles from those still
clinging to Frosinone, key to the
lower Sacco valley, but they are
80 or more miles apart by any
adequate road connection. And in
the Sacco vallev the fate of Fro
sinone gems sealed. British and
Canadian elements astride the
Sacco river and French-American
units of the Fifth army are clos
ing in the ancient town.
The Sacco valley between Val
montone in the north and the men
aced Frosinone road hub in the
south could become Nazi death
trap within hours.
Several German divisions are
still deployed along the Lepini hills
between the Sacco valley and the
Pontine coastal plains now COM
pletely in Allied hands from the
southern edge of the Tiber delta.
There apparently are only three
possible lateral escape routes into
the Sacco valley from the Lepini
ridge.
Escape Routes
One is the Priverno-Valmontone
road that joins the Via Casilina
some five miles east of Valmon-
tone where the trunk highway has
been under direct, close-range AL
lied fire for two days or more.
The second is the Priverno-Fro-
sinone road. L is probably under
fire south of Frosinone. The third
is the Priverno connection with
the Via Casilina by the way of
Pofi, obviously Allied cut. Britich
units are reported past Pofi in the
drive on Frosinone up the left
bank of the Sacco.
1t was upon his intimate know
ledge of the enemy's grave situa-
ton on all sectors that General
Clark based his assurance to his
troops that the blood of comrades
who died in the Anzio baachhead
operations would be redeemed in
mot many days" by the capture
of Rome. That the plight of the
enemy is desperate and that the
break must come soon at some
point to crack his hold, not on
Rome alone but on the whole Ital-
ian peninsula south of the Etrus-
can Alps, does not seem open to
question.

Daily Prayer
FOR ENDURING SPIRITS

That our men in service are so
bravely enduring indescribable
hardships we thank Thee, o God.
They have proven themselves good
pupils in the school of the Christ
who carried on dauntlessly to the
end. Our hearts rise to higher
levels as we contemplate our
heroes, whom hunger, thirst, wear
ness, wounds and even death can
not deter from their missions. They
carry on in patient continuance;
and we, too, would share their
fidelity and fearlessness. God en-
dow us with the grace of stead
fastness. Deliver us from our tenn
peramental up-and-downess. In
deep spiritual unity with our
forces, may we fulfill our wartime
obligations, however email, how
ever large. Enable us to be good
comrades of our fighting men and
good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Nav
no word of WEAKNESS or impa-
thence or disloyalty creep into our
letters to our dear ones in service:
teach US the art of being encour-
ayers and inspirers; sure that the
goal of victory and world neace
lies ahead of us. Amen WIFE

With Ernie Pyle

with the Kuhns kids. They lived
lust across the fence from our
farm. I've known them all my
life
THAT'S what I said" said Ser
eeant ShoWalter. And then we left
the crowd and sat on the grass,
leaning against a rock, and talked
about Dana, Ind, and Muncie
and things.
Sergeant Showalter worked in
factories before the war. He has
been commander of his gun for
more than a year and half. He
is a small fellow. quiet, serious,
conscientious, and extremely
proud of his crew and of the way
they take their responsibility.
One of Showalter's beet buddies
in his crew is Pfc. Bob Cartwright,
of Daytona Beach. Fla. He is a
cannoneer-a small, reddish, good
natured fellow.
When we met I said, What S
that you've got in your mouth?''
He grinned and said, "Chawin'
tobacco" Which was just what I
thought it was.
He manages to keep well stock
ed by trading stuff with boys
who don't chew. Bob is very
young. He didn't know much when
he came into the Army, but Show
alter says he's the best there is
now.
AS 1 said the boys are very
proud of their guns. They say
they've had fine training and lots
of practice on moving targets
They say that on direct fire they
can hit a moving tank at about a
mile and almost never miss.
They're anxious to get at it and
get it over with and get back
home.
They know it won't be easy on
the other side. They're living
rough now but they don't complain
too much because they know it's
going to get worse.
They know they'll be on C and K
rations, and they've had expert
ence with them on maneuvers. But
when 1 spoke of our best ration
the 10-in-1 field ration-they had
never heard of it.
They have been working hard
since they hit England. They've
made long night trips and done a
lot of practice firing and some
times they have to work ac late
as 10 o'clock at night.
When I saw them they were
making preparations for moving
overseas. 1t takes a lot of work
to get your equipment ready for
an amphibious move. They've
worked so hard they haven't had
j time to get bored. There are some
American outfits that have been
here for two years without action.
and there are Canadians who have
been marching up and down for
four years. How they've kept from
going nutc is beyond me.
