My experiences in Africa follows;- On an unexpected date’ I landed in , and have traveled many a mile, I saw the famous. Kassarine Pass and the ruins of Theleppe, V/e then continued our march westward to The name Maknassy sounds big. It is big to me for I shall ne^er for- get it. Oar bojrs from North Carolina did a great job, Tliere was a great many in this battle, V/e traveled by night and fought by day, I want you all to know that the Germojis have a, powerful F/eapon; the 88 ram, but they are no where near as good or effective as the American guns. Our march from Maknassy to Sed Janane was a great surprise to the Jerries, Quote our Edit -or of the "Stars and Stripes” that the terrain in which we boys at Sed Janane had fought v;as the most mountrdnous and rugged in all Tunisia, But with thv Morican blood our boys fought vdth courage and spirit for final victory. The final stage of the battle for us came in Bizerte, Til e members of our ivire combat team consisted of the following: T/4 Carl Wood of Livingston Manor, N. Y,; T/5 Fred H, Arndt of Claremont, North Carolina; T/5 Cornielous L, Pazyra of Chealsea, Mass; T/5 John Chakan of Barnsborough, Pa; P,F,C; J, B, Oh ampion of Lawndale, North Carolina; P,F,C, Frank Samole of Southern Pines, North Carolina; Pvt, Leslie Bell, of Detroit, Michigan; Pvt, Jack B, McKinney of Asheville, North Carolina; Pvt, Romey of Kentucky; and Pv|[, ?fo3.ter Garfinkle of New YorkCity, These boys are a very fine group of soldiers; they work eat and fight together. Never v/as there any gripes when the fighting was hot, We were all fighting for the same cause of liberty and freedom. Note the rebels an d yankees, I know our boys that are overseas realize the situation that we are in and they are willing to give up their lives for their loved onew and their country, I am so rry to hear about ?Jhitey McNeeley, I hope he will receive the same or equal attention as the German prisoners get from the Americans, I want to thank you for the splendid work you people have done for us. May victory be ours most quickly and surely. Sincerely, P.F,C.
