SGT. L. H. TAYLOR UNDER M«ARTHUR IN AUSTRALIA _ I -— Australia October 1, 1942 Dear Mr. Wilson: I am writing this letter on be half of the boys formerly with the home National Guard outfit, who are now serving overseas. I think every mother who has a son over seas has every right to feel proud of him. Each and every one is certainly doing his part to the finest of their ability. I might al so add that I never saw the mor ale as good as it is here, which is mainly due to the work you people back home are doing for us. The boys over here are Johnny Height, James Sewell, Abe Jour nigan, Norman McLeod, Frank Borrell. They all send their best regards, and want to tell their neonle that thev are all well, and hoping to see them soon. Mr. Wilson, I don’t know wheth er you have ever seen an engin eering outfit at work or not. Well, we have been on detached service with one for quite a while, and believe me they really put their heart and soul in what they are doing. It is really a privilege to work with an outfit like that, and under a Commander such as Gen eral MacArthur. It gives you the feeling that you are helping to win this war. I guess you have heard of a football team with good fast backs and a strong line. Well, we, the army, navy, marines and air corps, are the four great backs, and you people are the line pushing onward, and you can bet your pants when that final whis tle blows, it will be the “stars and stripes” all the way. Well, Mr. Wilson, that’s an idea of how we feel about this war. Hoping to see you soon, Respectfully yours, Sgt. Tech. L. H. Taylor 33 Surgical Hosp. APO 922 A. S. N. 20411301 Care Postmaster San Francisco, Calif. P. S. We have been enjoying the Herald very much.
