warm. Fortunately this situation
is now rather we'll remedied for
we have adopted the procedure OF
taking over the German homes.
I will close this, whatever you
call it with a word of appreciation
to those on the Home Front fol
their splendid work in producing
armament, and for their noble ef-
forts to win the peace. No matter
what may be written about the
heroes on the battle front, this
war is still one of production.
Yours,

balance of address on application
Thank you for your contribution
to this column, Corporal. AS you
have stated, it is indeed most ap-
propriate for all our readers to
add their bit as time goes on. At
ter all, this is what makes a col
umn of this type function. Were
it not for you Service Boys, the
editor would soon run out of ma
terial to publish.
1t is especially interesting to
know what part your Battery has
played since you left the States.
Included in this outfit are Sgt.
Frederick ]. Burke, Pfc. Harry L..
Hurlock and Pfc. Edgar w.
Starkey. All these fellows from
around these parts. AS far as we
can learn, this is the only group
from Kent County who have sort
of stuck together. And when you
hear of so many other Boys, who
have not met up with a single man
from home since entering the SER
vice, it makes one feel that you
fellows have been sort of FORUM
ate in that respect. So here's hop
ing that your quartet will stick
together during the remainder of
this war.
Sorry about the lateness of the
Christmas card. Sort of takes
away a part of the meaning to
have received it so late. The only
thing l can say to that, is Drib-
bles started all the cards on their
way in time to arrive by Christ
mas; providing nothing unusual
occurred. Apparently, this was
one of the times when fate sort of
stepped in and upset all good in
tentions. The way things seem to
be going now, there is quite a
question as to how Christmas of
1945 will find this war progressing.
Let us all hope and pray that the
worst phases will be over by then,
both in the European Theatre and
the Pacific Area. What could be
a nicer Christmas present than to
know that you would be back
home to share it with your folks
This is said with the feeling that
many things can happen during
the next six months which may
bring this war to victorious end
ing. At the same time, it is also
believed, that much hard fighting
will necessarily have to take place
to accomplish this favorable eli
max.
The very best of luck to you
Corporal, and may fate be kind to
you from here on out.
Drop us a line whenever you
may have a bit of time on your
hands. Your letters will always
be welcome. The same applies to
the other Boys in your group who
hail from these parts.
