pell went ahead again. "Red" and I
plodded along behind. .
Once along that nightmare road I
climbed a tree to put pur wire over a
side road. It was very light above
the trees and as I looked down into
a wheat field, I gazed into foxholes
where rested the dead. Their eyes
were open sightless and terrible,
gating ever upward. I froze, and my
hair stood on end. Finally I got so
I could move and I leaped from the
tree down ten feet to the road, get
ting a bruise or two, but sick to my
Soul. I just didn't think I could
stand the smell any more.
- "Red" and I made ear way toward
the road that connected withour own
little trail, sweating Our stepping on
anti-personnel mines, but somehow
we never did. We learned later that
there were plenty of them ttifere
'some amuery oui.ni wan in posi
tion and firing constantly.1 AJerry
plane trying to keep down fire gave
it a few bursts and managed for a
few minutes to quiet it Every time
the battery fired the pilot sent down
a rain of steel. Finally he tried a
trick. Flying away into the distance
the pilot tried a trick that is old now.
He dropped a flare and coasted sil
ently back to the gun position. See
ing the distant flare, the . cannoneers
thought it safe to fire. How wrong
they were! Aa the first round went
on its way the plana dived and I
never heard so much steel in the air
at one time in ajl of my life. The
20 mm projectiles bunted. and threw
death everywhere.
"Red" and I hit a hole that had
been dug by a- Jerry and hoped. A
convoy was passing along the main
mad about three hundred yards dis
tant so. we just stayed where -we
were in'-the foxholes. Soldiers have
said Key weren't scared. But that
WJ aXtti- the shooting was over. 'We

me from the sky. The pilot smoked
the convey over with the aid of flares.
and the light of the moon, and 'did
nothing. It was hard to believe, and
I can't account for it even now,
When he had gone, "Red" and" I
climbed out of the holes and went to
catch VP with Wells and Chappel
who were further down the road,
Shortly ' after striking the main
road we met Parker, Stallings, Mor
row, Taylor and Bokoos. Wells
thought we were lost and Parker and
Morrow and Stallings thought they
were' lost They were as scared as
we were, not knowing where they
were going or what they might run
into. They are the men who placed
the wire ever the faces of the dead
Germans lying beside the road that
we had seen on our way to the (
sored FA Gp - switchboard. Many
times they stopped by the silent gun
crews, wondering, I know. As time
wore on and they did not meet Us,
Stallings- took the wire and reel 'off
ther truck while Parker and Morrow
went W try to flnd vs. We have all
agreed that" it was ene of the rough
est nights w nave1 ever known. -
So, Bccordingly. we spliced the two
lines when we met and tried to check
in. The line was cut somewhere, and
we stood there in the darkness of the
trees, wet with ther chill of dew and
wondeted where the break could be.
We checked at a bridsre further
down and found that tanks movinsc
up to $ie attack had chewed the wire
pmtty ' badly.1' . Wells swore some,
more at careless tank drivers' in par-'
tit ular and the world in general.
Evert before we could fix the break,
Jerry swooped down end sprayed the
roaa, throwing nre everywhere. We
all; knew .death when we saw it, so

water. ' ; ;
When we climbed out of there we
fi .cd the , wire. Because John Mor
row had .been ' so careless with, , our
Uvea, driving as fast as the truck
would go, every time we had the op
portunity,' "Red" and " I decided to
ride with Crpell. It was compV.,2

we tried to relax. I kept wondering
if life was real anywhere---jf all. the
world was horror and fear and what
was life worth? What is it worth
even now? Will there ever be days
of peace when we can . while away
our time in the warm sunshine,' lis
tening to the hum of bees? Will
there ever be a time when man does
not seek to kill other men in hate
and rage? And the dead -what did
they die for? Will they evr know
stead orthose who have died?.' What
hope ia there, even if .the war ends!
Can ini'iaory be controlled,? and can
we see only the nice thiga n life

Since that time' I have spent many
days at the front ttt ,it was $ere,
