生活状況

Living conditions were primitive. We stayed in captured dugouts or outdoors.

We bathed in creeks where available.

Meals were mostly K rations. Occasionally, we had hot meals when conditions were right.

We didn't have much for entertainment, except in the rear area. Mostly, we played cards.

軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

When I was going back to the aid station after being wounded, a sniper emptied his rifle at me as I was running along the trail. I must have looked like a scene from the Keystone Cops movie.
