LATEST SOLDIER DOPE:
ROBERT WHITAKER, a for
mer Minneapolis lad, is dropping
letters from overseas-Italy to be
exact. He says he and his bat
talon are living in hotels that used
to be quarters for Italian soldiers.
He has also been lucky enough to
run into a few other Twin City
boys stationed nearby and he says
it's really a thrill to run into a
hometown boy. Some of the boys
he's seen are: LEONARD SMITH,
HENRY BOWMAN, LLOYD
SMALLEY, FELIX CLARDY,
ROLAND JOHNSON and CHAS.
MCDONALD. .. Received breezy
letter from LIEUT.. JIMMY
BRADFORD, a former St. Paul
lad, out in Australia. Jimmy says
he's still kicking and would like
more mail from home. He's hoping
to be back in the states on fur
Tough very soon. PFC. FRED
(Mpls.) KANE, dropped a newsy
letter from Somewhere in Italy"
Fred says he's just about mastered
the Italian language which makes
him quite a popular guy as far as
the chicks are concerned. (Smiles)
LIEUT.. MALLALIEU WOOL
FOLK, former U. of NJ. student,
is in the same camp with Fred and
he sends his best regards to Sal.
LIEUT.. BENJAMIN SMITH,
who visited in Minneapolis and St.
Paul about a year ago, sent an
interesting letter to Sal from
France where he is now stationed.
Benjamin says it is heart-break-
ing when you look around and see
the destruction which is every
where and see the haunted look on
so many faces of innocent people
who hardly know what this war is
all about. MELVIN THOMAS,
Of the U. S. Navy, another former
Mpls. lad dropped few jottings
from Great Lakes, Illinois. Mel
win says he sure wishes he were
back in the good Of Twin Cities.
Was glad to hear from CPL.
PRINCE TYLER, who dropped a
lovely set Of post cards from beau
tiful Hawaii. Prince says it's beau
tiful out on the islands but he'd
give anything to be back home with
his recent bride, IONA LANGUMS
TYLER. Another interesting
letter in the mail box was from
CPL. OSCAR GRISSOM, who is
way out in Burma. Oscar says he
and some other Twin City boys
have a gang of fun hunting "big
game" in their spare time. Some
Of the boys in Oscars battalion
are: S/SGT. JOSEPH DOBBINS of
st. Paul; LIEUT.. REGINALD
HARRIS of St. Paul; and PVT.
JOHN HARPER of Mpls. Oscar
also told Sal that he and Sgt. Dob
bins shot a big jungle cat and was
that ever thrill. The boys have
the jungle cats hide but they don't
know how they'll get it back to the
states. (Smiles.) The boys also
have a Jap skull which they got
while near the front lines.
Well, until we meet again next
week, be sweet and don't take any
wooden nickels.
Your Pal,
SAL.
