week that some of the boys said
that they did not know whether
they were coming or going. With
exams and classes to keep them
busy, one would think that an Army
College Of Hospital work was going
on. These classes have been held
mainly for the Medical and Surgi-
cal Technicians who have been
working at Station Hospital No. /.
In order to acquire the true knowl-
edge of malaria disease, the 335th
was honored to have as a guest on
several occasions, Major West, who
delivered lectures on his experiences
with malaria in North Africa. Ma jor
West, who has spent the past year
in Liberia, really delivered the goods
in a manner which one can't get
by looking at movies and receiving
instructions otherwise.
In regards to the company as to
recreational activities this past
week, much has been going on. On
many nights whist and checker
tournaments have been held under
the supervision of Cpl. Vincent
Gaines, who is Special Service Nom
Commissioned Officer of the unit.
Afterwards refreshments have been
served and the boys seem to get
kick out of it and want to have
more of them. Too, I would like to
mention the fact that Cpl. Gaines
has done quite a bit for our day.

Thrills and Fun Combine to Make Tank.

Ry Pvt. SHERWOOD Goggins

Sunday, March IL, was a red let
ter day for the 827 T. d. Bn With
a very favorable breeze (vitally i'm
portant) the tank eating tigers"
put on a demonstration, and, coup
led with free rides for the audience,
it was a roaring success.
With an impressive introduction
by Capt. Hartung, adjutant of the
827th T. D. Bp., who gave infor-
nation in general about the <bat-
talon the show got underway.
Under the capable leadership Of
S/Sgt. Hodge of Co. G, whose crisp
commands and snappy salutes re-
minded one of a West Pointer crews
representing tank destroyer pla-
toon went through the various
phases of T. D. gun drill. Notice.
able were the SpotleSs uniforms,
clean equipment, and polished shoes.
Sgt. Hodge is to be commended for
his splendid work.
Following gun drill there came
sequence of T. D. direct fire COM
nands under the direction of Sgt.
G. Holly. At this stage of the per-
formance the gun of the destroyer
was traused and brought to bear on
an imaginary target. The movements
of the platoon were explained by Lit.
Ringer, G Co. With his skilled
handling of the microphone and his
simple but complete explanation of
the movements, 1t. Ringer was a
valuable aid in the carrying out Of
the demonstration.
After the demonstration the aud
ience was allowed to ride in the NJ
10 Tank Destroyer, M-8 and M-20'S
armored scout cars. This undoubt@
edly was the most thrilling part Of
the day. WACs, soldiers, and civil
ians alike having a swell time.
Among those present and from
whom opinions were gathered was
1t. McCoune, formerly of the 93rd
Div, now in the Air Force who
said, cts a pretty hot outfit, you
fellows are swell" incidentally he
was on maneuverS with the T. DIS
in California.
Little Arthur Quiroz undoubted-
ly the youngest spectator, when
asked what he thought of it all, eXS
claimed, II want to be tank COM
mander" He enjoyed his ride
thoroughly as did the rest Of the
youngsters.
The WACs were we'll represented.
Clad in fatigues and clambering over
the vehicles, they were a pleasant
problem to the fellows.
Present. also were various officers
of the battalion and post. 1t. Ayod
Isilalian, G. o. of the Co. which
put on the show was present and he
seemed pleased. He deserves much
of the credit for good show. Also
present were 1st Sgt. Mckinney Of
the same company and his guests.
Officers, non-coms and enlisted
men of the 827th Tank Destroyer
Bn. are to be congratulated for the
wonderful show they gave. It was
given in true "tank destroyer spirit"
A grand time was had by all and
everyone went away pleased and
smiling.
