Staff Sergeant Arvid W. Beach, of j Zionville, has been operating with | his campaign-seasoned service bat- | tery on the hotly contested Anzio Nettuno beachhead south of Rome. , On Beach's battery, part of a 155 millimeter rifle unit, depends, not only the availability of ammunition, which the big guns devour voraci ously, but also the availability of the guns themselves. They are respon sible for the working of the ve hicles that carry the weapons to their firing positions and, frequent ly working under enemy fire, they must repair and do maintenance work on trucks and tractors, the guns' prime movers. Each of the weapons fires sub stantially more than 50 rounds of the heavy ammunition a day. send ing each round more than 15 miles. "This is serious business," Sgt. Beach declared. "We know a lot of men are depending on the protec tion of our guns and that a lot of them would be left exposed if the guns held up even for a short while during critical periods in the fight ing. "But there's a lighter side in our lives over here," he continued, "and we make the most of it between battles. We leave off being grim as soon as we get a break in our work. In other words, we don't talk shop in our off hours." The veteran crewmen have ac quired a number of "soldiers' lux uries" since coming to Italy.

"It's a far cry from the life we were leading in the desert in Afri ca." Beach's unit came overseas, open ed fire for the first time 111 Tuni sia on Christmas eve of 1942. They have been busy ever since, having participated in every encounter be tween American and German armies. Sgt. Beach is the son of Henry C. Beach, of Zior.ville R. F. D.
