Quartermasters Continue Work
Under Enemy Fire

A Port of Liberated France -
While stray snipers and isolated
German pillboxes still sent hot lead
spattering against the ancient walls
of this huge port city, Negro SOL
diers of the 4089th Quartermaster
Service Company set up the first
all-important supply depot near the
battered and blasted docks of the
harbor.
Working night and day and eat
ing only K-rations, these men faced
constant threat OF sniper attack
from the ground, bombing and
strafing from the air.
The clearing of the big Nazi de-
pot here, partly destroyed by Ger
man demolition and partly by our
own bombing assaults, was one of
the first giant steps of the United
States Army in fashioning this torn
and half-demolished city into the
funnel-point of Allied supplies that
it is today.

Gains are measured in yards, sand

LEYTE-Fighting on Leyte Is
land is increasing, due to the fact
OF the impossibility of carrier based
planes to keep reinforcements for
the Jap troops from landing on. the
island. Macarthur, in a recent com i
munique stated, however, that "The
enemy's line of rei1lforcementS by
water through Ormac Bay has been
cut by our naval and air forces and
with increasing pressure Of our
ground troops, the enemy's situa-

ATHENS-Civil war is raging
within the confines of the city with
British tanks and air craft and
forces of EDES waging all-out bat
tie against the forces of Elias, who
fought as guerillas to free the counL
try from German rule. The British
are attempting to bolster the pres

Impressive were the special Me-
mortal Services held at Post Theatre
No. 1, Sunday, Dec. 3, for the fami-
lies of casualties of World War 2,
living in the Fort Huachuca area.
Although small number of SOL
dierS and civilians attended, they
left the service with a deep sense
of obligation to and reverence for
those who had laid down their lives
for them in order that they might
know peace and enjoy the blessings
of prosperity within this, their corln-
try.
The Post band opened the service
with a selection, and hymn, Holy,
Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty, y
followed. Invocation was read by
Rev. c. Snowden and the WAC
chorus softly sang: Precious Lord,
Lead Me On"
After the 23rd Psalm, THE Lord
Is My Shepherd" was read, Cpl.
Wells played the selection, God
Will Take Care Of You," as from
bone solo, which was followed by a
short sermon stressing faith in the
after-life, by Chaplain A. G. Haines.
A hymn, MY Faith Looks Up To
Thee" followed the sermon, and

The Negro tanlxmen were COM
mitted to action following the
26th Divisions capture of Metz,
which never before fell to direct
assault in modern times. They
lunged into the battle with such

more problems, and more inter

sympathetic understanding and
friendship and that I truly have
for them. ColOred men, as in
dividuals have occasionally dis.
appointed me, but no Oftener than
whites. And no cOlOred group has
ever let me down.
CAS- drafted soldiers, these
Southern plantation and levee

fighting for has been stolen from
them long ago.
But they will do anything, en-
dure anything for love and loyal
ty to officers who treat them fair
ly as friends, developing their
personal and organizatiOnal pride
and their Self-respect as soldiers
of the United States Army. They
don't ask that they shall like the
officer, but only that he shall like
them. They seem to know in
stinctively who is putting on an
act and who honestly loves them
in his heart. That latter leader
they will follow anywhere and
they will not let him fall"

The Post Commander addressed a
special letter of commendation to
the commanding officer of the WAC
Section expressing his appreciation
for the job done by the WACs dur
ing their two years of duty at Fort
Huaehuca. The text of the letter
follows:
1T. COnsueIa Bland
Commanding Officer
WAC Detachment.
SCU 1922
Fort Huachuca, Arizona
Dear Lit. Bland:
When two companies of WACS
from DeS MOineS arrived at this
station on December 1912, it rep
resented a pioneer effort in the
use of enlisted women in our war
effort. These two companies rep
resented the first organized group
of WACS to be assigned to any
station for duty. 1t was apparent
that there was considerable doubt
in the minds of many people as
to whether or not the experiment
would prove to be a success. 1t is a
matter of great satisfaction to me,
as it must be also to you and the
members of your command, to
know that the experiment at this
station has proven highly salts
factory and beneficial to our Gov
ernment.
Ihave always had real juStifica-
ton for being grateful and proud
of the accomplishments of the
WACS at this station. They have
not only set a high standard in
the way of personal department
but they have performed excellent
service on the numerous and vari-
GUS jobs to which they have been
assigned. Their usefulness at this
station has extended beyond the
purely professional duties for
which they were enlisted. At this
isolated post they have helped
furnish with but few exceptions,
wholesome feminine contacts and
associations for our soldiers. This
being true, the WACs can be cred
tied with having contributed to
the morale and morals of the SOL
dierS at this station.
In recognition of your compile
ton of two years valuable service
at this post, I feel that it is ap-
prOpriate to again express my ap-
probation for the high standards
established by your detachment.
Sincerely yours,
- EDWIN N. HARDY,
Colonel, Cavalry,
Commanding.

Negro tankmen and their work,
said: $50 far as fighting is con-

such bravery except cnce before,
and that was on the Russian
'front.'" 1t came when a German
rocket gun knocked out a tank
of the Negro unit. The crew dis
mounted, brought out the so cal

crawled under their tanks for pro-

away at the enemy.
