conveyed to the USO. 1t was truly
grand affair. The refreshments were
served banquet style and very at
tractively arranged salads, sand
wiches, pickles, olives, crackers, coca
colas and cookies were plentiful
Music was furnished by the 372nd
swing band. Lovely WACs from
Douglas and Fort Huachuca, and a
number of the wives of the men in
Cannon Company acted as hostesses.
A jolly group with plenty of pep are
these "Cannoneers." That was very
obvious when the members of. the
group came forth with their Com

The plans for the wiener Roast"
had been cancelled because of infor-
nation received that all men would
be restricted to the Post because of
troop movement.
Then came the telephone call from
Anti-Tank Company at 5:45 p. m.
checking on the affair. We were in
formed that the men of this COM
pany would be conveyed to the USO
for the Wiener Roast at 6 p. m. and
also stay to the movie. Such hustle
and hustle you have never seen on
the part of the staff to get ready in
about ten minutes for the unex-
pected wiener roast. 1t was really
fun. Doesn't it make you feel good
when the men have such a good
time?
1t was certainly with regret that
we watched the men of the GRIND
Infantry leave Fort Huachuca. just
as you get to actually know group,
fate DEGREES that it must move on to
other territories to further train or
in short to get this war over in rec

of the GRIND Infantry. We enjoyed
working with you and hope that you
will enjoy your stay in other camps
just as much as We enjoyed having
you here.
