Greenwald is ammunition officer. Every ordnance soldier has a tough duty to perform, for he must work carefully, with min ute, precise machinery, while land mine detonations pound a gainst his eardrums and bullets sing their Uood-curdling lulla bies too close for the good of his nerves. There is the automotive pla toon, with its repair and recov ery section. The repair section keeps vehicles in shape and the recovery section evacuates ve hicles that can’t be put in run ning order on the spot. The supply section furnishes automotive replacements and keeps repair shops supplied with parts. The arament platoon, divi ded into small arms and artil lery sections, repairs weapons on the battlefield, where practi cable. Weapons damaged be yond immediate repair go to shops fuijfher behind the lines. The ordnance maintains its own repair shop on wheels for arms and vehicles, enabling the artificers to follow the fighters. A small arms truck takes care of infantry weapons, from the pis tol to machine gun. This vehicle is equipped with a 115 volt gen erator to furnish light and power for drill presses, grind stones, buffers, etc., according to Staff Sgt. Charles T. Tobin, formerly of Buffalo, N. Y., who directed the unit during recent problems. He was aided by T-5 Ralph Reh ring, formerly of Cincinnati, PERSON COUNTY TIMES ROXBORO. N. C. Ohio, and Pfc. Walter Piker, formerly of Terre Haute,. Ind. The mobile repair shop carried a complete supply of parts for small arms, from a screw so small that only tweezers could maneuver it, to the large mach ine gun barrel. The truck is heated in cold weather, air-cool ed for midsummer heat, and is gas proof. Pullman style cur tains cover every bit of window space in case of blackout. A £!ue light tan be turned on to develop pictures. “This is one unit which is suitable for maneuver and com bat use near the front lines,” Captain Noel explained. “There is also a shop truck for larger repairs, which contains acetylene and electric welding equipment, and huge wreckers which will rescue heavy vehicles, like gun mounts and trucks that sink deep into the mud.” The company can even repair GI watches. Sgt. Sydney Spierer, former New York City jeweler, carries on his former trade in his own unique shop. Other skilled hands are those of T-5 Melvin Sisson, formerly of Los Angeles, who turned his art of wood carving into excellent me tal. work, with T-4 William Obin ger, formerly of Youngstown, Ohio, as his understudy. Then there’s Sgt. Aaron Rich, formerly of S'aaugus, Mass., the soldier who finds the ordnance company a paradise for his hob by, guns. He has a hu'ge gun col lection, the oldest of which dates back several centuries. Diagnos ing the ailment of a .45 caliber pistol is duck soup for him. All automotive platoon sol diers have attended the Hola bird Ordnance school, Captain Noel said. In addition, there are 11 civilian automotive techni cians, who will go on maneuvers with the Division.
