PFC. Clifford E. Miller, Eng
land, June 10:
This is to inform you of my new
address and location. So far | have
not received the paper over here,
but l am sure it is on it's way, and
1t will be very comforting to read
when it arrives.
That l am in England is about
all l can say as to location. This
is a beautiful country and the peo-
pie are friendly. This is a long
ways from home.
l wish to say Hello to all my
friends and folks.
The British girls call us Ameri-
a soldiers climber wolves" Why
! do not know.
Hope we all get together sOon
Thanks to all who aid in sending
the paper.
T.-5 L. F. Bangert, Atlantic over
seas address, June 49,:
Thanks a million for the paper
and give my regards to folks back
home. | mean everybody.
1t surely is swell to receive the
home paper and read it between
working hours. 1t kind of swells
my heart to know the folks back
home are in this with us. Tell all
the people who work on the railroad
that without their help in keeping
the freight rolling l could not issue
and replace the parts that wear out
on guns and trucks. One worn part
is enough to put a gun or truck out
of the battle. The yards there at
Laurel are doing a great job of
keeping those vitality necessary
parts coming. That way we will
win the war more quickly and get
home sooner.
Thanks to you all, from a son of
VIC Nv OliI IOWh.
Paul Dull, Farragut, Ida, July 3:
| finished boot training today, ac-
cording to u present schedule,
anyway.
So far it hasn't been quite as
tough as I was led to believe, but
it certainly is not like home. When
taps sound you're ready for bed,
and I don't think any of the guys
are bothered with insomnia. | know
I'm not.
Ralph Herriot and I are in the
same company, along with about
100 boys from Nebraska, all 49,
year old graduates. So far l haven't
received my Outlook, but I've been
reading Ralph's and certainly do
enjoy it.

is much like Montana. We are To-
Gated just a few miles east of
Pixies Peak and the adjoining
Rocky mountains.
I don't have much time at
present, but l will try to write
again in the near future. Thanks
for sending the paper.

June 26, to Henry Gratwohl:
/ am getting along pretty good
down here, although the weather
is hot.
/ work on B-24 planes now, but
would rather work on the smaller
ones we had back in New Mexico.
The B-24 is almost too much ship
to work on as they have four big
motors to keep going. When we
have to change plugs on them it's !
a days work, for they have 112
spark plugs. They have Sc cylinders p.
and each cylinder has two plugs. !
Please send my camera so 1 can
take pictures of Mexico, which is 6
so different from the States. lis
