Dear Mr. Wilson,
I have been receiving the Herald
for the last year and I feel
ashamed of myself for waiting
so long to write but I wish to
tal® this moment to express my
de^i appreciation for the Herald
each week.
To me the Herald means a lot
and I look forward to it each
week. To read the Herald is al
most like spending a day at home
eacn week.
I came into service with the
National Guard unit there 3 years
ago. For the last three months
Mind for the next three months

3uvWs. To live out in the woods
for six months wouldn’t be so bad
if we didn’t move so much for
the dust is awful, from 8 to 12
inches deep in places.
I^jave been getting my Herald
addressed to Camp Blanding, Fla.,
please send it to the following
address;
Staff Sgt. W. D. Poindexter

Thanking you very much I re

out without as much as a scratch.
Let me tell you about the battle:
The invasion armada was assemb
led in Africa. After much planning
and completing of details we got
underway. Every man realized the
importance of the mission and was
“eager to get a crack at em.”
The invasion fleet arrived off
Sicily after dark, the BRISTOL
being with the van. At first the
enemy offered stiff resistance both
with air attacks and coastal bat
teries, but by morning all of the
enemy’s guns had been silenced
Our objective surrendered in the
early forenoon. That’s all there
was to it,with the exception of a
few light air raids in the following
days.

D
da^K, a.Su ana saw tne soldiers
stationed there. I didn’t get ac
quainted with any of the boys, but
I know most of them are a long
way from home. These boys are
like all other boys in the service,
we are all in this thing for one
purpose. That’s to win the war as
soon as possible. We went in the
service not asking for any favors
or expecting any.
I was surprised to see that of
all places in the United States,
Roanoke Rapids with a heart
much larger than the city, were
charging regular prices at the
theatres for service men stationed
there.
We are not going to let our
city have the name some of these
Yankee owned cities in Florida
have, are we? Treating the sol
diers like tourists.
I hope when the boys are ship
ped from Roanoke Rapids, they
will feel like I do about Kansas
City, Mo. If I can’t go home I’d
rather go there than any place
in the world.
Sincerely,
Thurman Underwood.
HI Fellow,
Tell everybody Thanks for the
swell time given me While I was
there. Didn’t have any trouble get
Hello and So long, so I’ll say So
Long. Thank you for the past
favors.
