生活状況

At war: we slept in trucks, farm houses, pup tent, open ground, in slit trenches and for a 2 month period, a winter castle near Nice, France.

2nd tour
We slept in prepared bunkers with dirt floors and walls with wooden ceilings made of ammunition boxes covered over with 3 to 4 feet of soil.

軍隊生活で最も記憶に残っている出来事

While transporting troops mopping up the stragglers at end of fighting, we came upon just released Jewish people just outside of Munich. These people were like skeletons with skin on them and so hungry that they tried to open 'C' ration cans with bare hands.

2nd Tour
The noticeable difference between this and WW II was that since the Korean conflict was a holding action, the incentive and morale was entirely different. It was like we were marking time.

軍隊にいる間、最も懐かしかったもの

Didn't worry about missing anything, just wanted to get war over and get home.

個人的に軍隊経験から学んだ最も重要なこと

That I came out of the war without a wound or serious illness.
