All the work was being done around
two field telephones lying in their
leather cases on the ground ten feet
from the tent.
The rocky hillside was covered
with little bushes and small fir trees.
The sun was out and the day was
rather warm. There were no pa
pers or desks or anything-just three
or four officers standing and sitting
on a hillside near two telephones on
the ground. One officer had a large
map case. That's all the parapher-
MALTA there was for directing the
battle.
Our troops were on top Of a
ridge about a quarter Of a mile
above US. The enemy was in the
valley beyond, and on a parallel
ridge a mile farther on. We
could walk up and look over, but
we couldn't see anything. Both
sides we're we'll hidden In the
brush.
Every minute or two our nearby
artillery would fire, and then half
a minute or so later we could hear
family the explosion of the shells
far away.
"Nobody's doing much damage
right now" an officer said, but
at least we're getting in ten shots to
their one."
Now and then a louder and much
nearer blast interrupted us. When
I asked what size gun this was. an
officer said it wasn't a gun-it was
enemy mortar shells exploding. I
supposed they were three or four
miles away, but he said they were
falling only 300 yards from US.
Once in a while we could hear
machine gun fire in the distance.
A young second lieutenant stood
near the phones and did all the talk
ing owe them. In fact he appeared
to be making all the decisions. And
he impressed me as knowing his
business remarkably well.
Lieutenant Gives Orders.
The highest officer around was a
lieutenant colonel, but he seemed to
leave everything to the lieutenant,
and at every signal of approaching
planes he raj to a nearby foxhole
and stayed there till the planes had
gone.
The phone rang every few min
utes. Other command posts would
be calling in to report or to ask
instructions. Now and then the chief
post, some is miles back, would call
and ask how things were going.
Officers and enlisted men kept ap-
pearing from down below or over
the hill asking about things. One
sergeant came to inquire where a
certain post was, saying he had two
jeep tires and a tire for an anti
tank gun that he was supposed to
deliver.
Another sergeant, wearing an
overcoat, came up the hill, saluted
formally. and reported that a GER
tain battery setup was ready to fire.
They told him to 60 ahead.
A phone rang. The captain of
an ack-ack battery said the enc
my had his range and asked per-
mission to move. He was told to
60 ahead. All the conversation
was informal and unexcited.
A phone rang again. An officer
at another command post was ask
ing for a decision on whether to
move forward. The young lieuten-
ant, apparently not wishing to give
direct orders to a higher officer,
solved the problem by putting his
words in the form Of advice, sprin.
king two or three 'sirs" in every
sentence. I thought he handled it
beautifully.
Now and then the lieutenant would
phone some other post. All the
posts have code terms such as hat
rack" and Monsoon" and "Chica-
60" I've just made those up as ex-
