was Just another routine night op-
Grafton.
The important thing to higher
command is that they got down
and that they were fighting men
the instant they hit the ground.
Some day there will be a lot of
good silk and nylon parachutes
scattered behind the second front
or over 1t, when the bloomer boys
go in, for when a guy drops ready
for a fight he doesn't have much
time to gather up more than a score
OF feet of billowing silk parachute.
He lands with weapons ready to
go, and the parachute can go hang
itself in the nearest tree, which it
frequently does.
Some Of the PIs prefer tree land
ing, they say It's softer and you
don't break leg Most of us would
rather drop in nice tree than hit
hard, rocky ground" The explana-
ton is that they land in trees with
their feet crossed, battering down
through the topmost twigs and
small limbs until they come to a
stop. Then they unhitch them
selves from the chutes and climb
down. ready for the scrap.
So they came down like a flock of
locusts, dropping exactly in the DE-
or drop zone, just as higher head
quarters had planned days back.
Some day they'll go in for grimmer
work than a training exercise. Tt

The occasion was a night train
ing exercise for parachute infantry
at this flying base. 1t was quite a
show, one of the biggest things
that has happened in this part
of the war training front. The
size Of the force cannot be told, but
it was big. When the CATS roared
over few hundred feet above the
ground and the parachute troops
jumped, the sky literally rained
men.
Opportunity Weapons.
1t was a starlit night. No moon,
but very clear and with unlimited
ceiling Perhaps it wasn't the best
possible night for paratroop opera
tions. Perhaps under battle condi-
tions night with a layer of clouds
might be better. The parachute
stood out vividly against the bright
dome of the night sky.
Parachute troops are called, in
Army parlance, weapons of op-
portunity. They are supposed to go
in for specific purpose at specific
spot and time. But once on the
ground, the bloomer boys become

major way in which the parachute
infantrymen differs from the guy
who rides to battle on a truck or
slugs his way there on foot is in
his transportation.
Drop Everywhere.
They dropped everywhere-and
fast. The big CATS roared over
head. From their wake blossomed
the parachutes, and the little men,
dwarfed by height, swung back and
forth in initial oscillation and float
