Soldier 'Close-Calls' Rest
On Bullet With No 'Number' |
Sgt.
James Farmer
Army Correspondent |
| A strange type of
German shell or bullet which bears no certain soldier's "number" has been
described here in a grim jesting by infantrymen of the 36th (Texas) Division. This kind of
missile bears a number which is either one digit above or one digit below "your
number." |

I Bring A Message |
Wick
Fowler
War Correspondent of The News
(Dallas Morning News - 1944) |
| If I have a message,
it is this: It is hell — multiplied hell — over there that you can’t
picture. Get that clearly in your minds. Your sons are thankful you are not experiencing
it — not a witness to the thirst of a German 88 for blood, the Godless fanaticism of
a Nazi soldier. |

James Farmer

| When retreating
Germans told them that United States "brutes" would impose both economic and

| Counting noses, he notes
something that never fails to interest him, although it has long since
ceased to surprise him, the old soldiers, with one wounded exception,
are all present; the new replacements, on the other hand, have suffered
nearly 50 percent casualties or missing. |
