Leaving the waters of the San Pc

-ly in the evening. With wild excite
.,rnent over weird tales of desert mon
sters, the masses began to unfold
their experiences of the week. Hav-

the surrounding terrain of the bivouac
area, our boys thought that they had
discovered all possible lairs of "those
things that crawl" However, it seems
that some we'll -camouflaged and
Ioarvelously hidden homes of these
creatures produce several rare and
unwelcome visitors.
For instance, S/Sgt. White of the
Medics captured a Gila monster one
afternoon, causing yours truly and the
rest of the company bivouaced near
by to subject our tents to a thorough
search. But no more monsters were
discovered that day. However, the
next day along came the mate of the
first Gila, along with several little
rnonsterettes. Since that time, the
dispensary with Keeper White in
charge, appears to be the hub of all
crawling things. One scorpion will

a rather large rattlesnake was at

days. The Company continued with
its training in spite of all these Visi-
tors. 'One eye to work with. one eye
to watch for them things that
crawls',' was our motto.

tains between India and China.
Composed of Negro soldiers, large
ly from the southern states, the
unit on leaving for overseas service
in August, 1943, had been known
simply as a labor battalion" It's
members had been trained for heavy
construction work, the hard mus
Gle" tasks Of maintaining airports
and roads and performing other ar
duous laboring assignments.
During their service on the Ledo
road. these men had become Spe-
cialists in many types Of work and
had executed almost impossible"
assignments. When they were called
to help build bases for the B-29
Superfortress they took on the
chin the manifold problems in
volved.
The first engineering unit to
move onto one of the Superfortress
bases, the outfit Immediately began
the task of laying thousands Of feet
of concrete in order to provide suit
able parking sites for the huge
bomberS.
It was a rush job-the parking
aprons had to be completed in time
for the arrival of the planes. A. one
month deadline was set for build
ing the first apron. which called for
approximately $4,000 cubic yards
of concrete. The absence of certain
quantities of necessary materials,
shortage of manpower, together
with ancient equipment, added to
the difficulties.
Undaunted by these drawbacks,
men and officers pitched in to get
the job done. The engineers brought
in gravel cement and sand; bat
terry of 81 concrete mixers was set
up and water was piped in to keep
them operating constantly day and
night; equipment was kept in run
ming order by the operators them
selves, who improvised their own
parts when it was impossible to OBJ
tain them. When the month was
up the job had been completed.
Activated in October, 1912, at
Fort Knox, Kentucky, this Engineer
battalion underwent training there
until sent overseas. On arriving in
the China a-Burma- India theater of
operations, they were Immediately
put to work on the Ledo road.
While on this assignment they turn

the first emergency landing fields
to be established in that area.
