 He was lonely and he was home sick. He was cn his way home right then, to be sure,-but that had been true ever since he'd em- parked from France on December l, just 80 days before. And, like many another serviceman on the move, he hadn't been paid for several months. He had cause to be blue that Sunday night!
 He didn't know anyone down at the US0- But he certainly had time on his hands; so he dropped into the building to have look around. For few minutes nobody noticed him. He thumbed listlessly through the clubs picture album. As he turned to go. the director came into the room and crossed over to get acquainted with him.

He wore the Army Air Corps wings himself, and also the Air Medal with two oakleaf clusters He'd been doing reconnaissance work, as "a photographer. He'd been over seas since l942. In North Africa, Italy, France and Germany he had taken part in 73 missions over enemy-held territory.

And of the group of 24 photographers who had sailed together for Europe 30 months before, only he and one other had escaped both death and serious wounds He had been unaccount- ably lucky, he said, no doubt about itl
 A close friend of his had com- pleted 78 missions also. He'd been due to leave for the States the very next day. He volunteered for one more mission that night. It proved to be that one-too-many which all combat-exhausted Air Corpsmen dread
