tragic things, so I might as well
tell you some of our lighter Incl
dents.
For example, the first night we
spent in France one of the colonels
who slept with us under an apple
tree was an army observer from
washington. Usually we Cont care
for observers from Washington. but
this colonel was a very nice guy
and a good field soldier too, and
everybody liked him.
While we were eating our K ra-
tions next morning he said he had
slept fine for the first hour, before
we had moved in under our jeep
for protection from the flax. He
said that before we moved he had
found nice little mound of earth
to put his head on for a pillow.
He said that all his life he had
had to have pillow of some kind.
After moving under the jeep he
couldn't find anything to put his
head on.
With that he walked over a few
feet to show us the nice mound of
earth. When he looked down he
started laughing His excellent pill

ardment of the Nazi launching
ramps in France, but official sourc-
es inoicated that new defensive
measures were being prepared as
result of the American capture

Cherbourg peninsula.
American and British Warplanes
dropped possibly 1000 tons of high
explosives on the robot ramps in
four trip-hammer attacks on the
Pas de Calais area Wednesday and
Wednesc ay night, and the enemy's
blind bombing tapered off sharply
during the night.
At daybreak, however, the tempo
of the Nazi assault quickened and
a steady stream of the flying bombs
came in over the channel coast.
RAF fighters attacked the pilot

gunfire that sent many crashing
