From All Fronts ' From the allied fronts throughout the world, letters l from our servicemen arrive daily at Kensington. 1 These letters contain colorful information and many interesting comments about the country where the sender is stationed. From these letters, we have chosen the portions which we believe will be of .- greatest interest to all Kensingtonians. Australia: It took 20 days for our V mail letter to reach Private Mason Blaich tClass of '40J some- where in Australia . He arrived there last Easter Sunday. Of the Australians, Mason writes: Aside from driving on the left side of the road, they act and talk like most Americans . . . He thinks that the people are picking up many American ways from the soldiers stationedxthere and believes this will result in the friendliest post-war relations. North Africa: Private Harold V. McHugh tClass of '39l has been in North Africa for six- teen months + and doesn't like it! There is very little I can say that would be complimen- tary to the country . . . I have seen a great deal of North Africa and a little of Europe and I wouldn't trade it all for just one little hamlet in the United States. For those who think Africa is always hot, Harold adds, We had about ten snowfalls this past winter. New Guinea: F or more than half of his year in the Army, Corporal Ted Majewski tClass of '42l has been overseas and has been in Australia, New Guinea, and New Britain. Now stationed in New Guinea. he writes that it is a much more civilized place than he had ex- pected, but adds: lt's quite muddy here and does not resemble the South Sea Islands of Dorothy Lamour pictures. The armed forces have performed an excellent task in carving civilization from the jungle. There are excellent roads, harbors, theatres, hospitals, and air fields in places that were recently dense undergrowthf' Ted wrote that while in New Britain he met Corporal Elmer Mayer of the Marine Corps and they spent. a few evenings rerninis- cing about Kensington . . . despite a few visits by Tojo. Of the war, Ted says: I realize what a great task the United Nations armed forces are performing. I have worked beside our Australian, Dutch, Norwegian, and Chinese allies. Close cooperation is shown by all because of our common aim, to win the war. England: One of many Kensington boys stationed in Eng- land, Corporal Paul Lesswing Cclass of '4ll, has had an oppor- . tunity to visit many interesting places. I have been in London QXFQ several times and have visited the Tower of London, we stay f in billets provided at a very reasonable rate to U. S. service men and women. The Red Cross is doing a grand job over here. They will plan tours, provide eating facilities, and have very good meals, at low cost, for service men. Paul finds the weather in England much like that of Buffalo in winter, says it is generally damp most of the time, and adds that he will take Buffalo anytime, no matter what kind of weather they have. He finds the scenery in England and Scotland very beautiful. Alaska: P.F.C. George Redder tClass of '4l7 is stationed at Fort Richardson, near Anchorage, one of the largest cities in Alaska. From there he writes: I have enjoyed Alaska very much. It is truly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. This is our last frontier and for those that have the energy and ambition, there are still fortunes to be made. I believe that after the war many of the soldiers now stationed here will, if possible, return and settle down. I would like to try my luck at fur farming. 11 H 4 1' i Z- 4 2 I E 'dp IP tl 'L' 'J 4 'lll P. F. C. George Redder fCO1'1ilIlUed OII Pdge 1712 Alaska 22 ,
