14 sausage and one lovely fresh egg at least they said it was fresh, anyway it tasted good because it's been quite sometime since I've I seen one. , I have been trying to get some snapshots of the natives but they are crafty devils and it always costs you a few cigarettes or some gum. Bob P.F.C. Herbert Silander 4th Marine Division Dear Mother, we know where we are going already and by the time you receive this letter, you'll have read in the paper or heard on the radio about the Marine's nSocial Callu on our little brown friends. The Nips probably won't be any too pleased to see the Marines landing on their property but before we finish, they will be bowing low and grinning at us with their famous nPepsodent smiles of beauty.H when I get back home, mother, I'll spend 30 days just stuff ing up on your delicious home cooking, mainly home-made bread, rolls, donuts, and fried chicken. I'll spend H260 hours a day, eating and the rest of the time I'l1 spend sleeping on a soft feather bed. Love, Herby , P.F.C. Sulo Silander Dearest Mother, It is about eight o'clock at night that I'm writing this. Just sitting around and listening to the radio. As usual there isn't much to write about, so I guess I'll have to limit the letter for A lack of gossip. It seems good to have still quite a few of the boys from around Keene, though they are gradually thinning out. These damn Japs have sure messed up a lot of lives, but deep in my heart, I have the satisfaction that I made them pay the price everytime I had a chance to, and I hope to get some more cracks at them. with love Sulo V, Taimi Koski CArmy Nurse! England Hello Folks, Here it's just like a spring day. There's a nip in the air and the fog d1dn't lift until about eleven when the sun begins to shine but it looks beautiful from the inside. I'm very comfortable in the tent. It sounds pretty bad, living in a tent in the winter time -- but it isn't and you can get used to anything. I like it much better than living in the huts as last winter. we've been thinking seriously of remodeling it. They are going to put white beaver board around the sides and when that happens, the other girls and I thought we ought to do something about the floor. As it is now,it gives off this powdery dust and you just can't keep it clean. So we came to the conclusion that a red paint job on it would certainly improve the appearance and keep down the dust. Love, Taimi

15 Cpl. Omer Marrotte Qwhen in Sicily! Dear Ma and Everyone, . Where I am sitting I can see snow capped mountains which are pretty high and pretty rugged, that's all there seems to be here, mountains. The houses are all built of stone. Some of it is pretty nice work. Some places here took hundred of years to build, but once they get them up they stay, all but what the bombs don't tear down. . So you are having plenty of oranges this winter. I'm sick of oranges and tangerines. I've eaten so many of them. Over here we get about fifteen tangerines for five cents. These fellows have these two wheel carts with a small mule and just peddle that stuff day after day. They holler all the way down the streets. Well, 1t's time for me to go back on duty so I guess I will sign off once more. Omer Harvey Trombly England Dear Folks, well, how is everyone there in good old New Hampshire? Yesterday I got my eleventh mission in course, I picked a rough one and went to Berlin. It was my fifth wing lead. I now have ten leadsC5 wing 5 squadronl and one wing deputy. As for the rest, you can read it in the papers, about the fighters and all. The Luftwaffe is not dead. well, I'll sign off now and get some sleep. I'll probably fly tomorrow. So good night. ' Your son and brother, ' Harvey Pvt. Barbara Royea IWACD England Hi Kids, At long last your wandering daughter seems to have found a home. I wish you could see it! It's an affair made of corrogated tin, bent in the shape of a half-moon. Inside it's painted blue and cream. There are eight of us to a hut. They put in a little stove today and it's really cosy now. Today we went around on a sort of scavenger hunt and as a result the place is nicer yet. And we're to get bicycles! That's just about the best news. It'll be nice to have one to go when and where you please. Another girl and I had some and we had a lot of fun. These English type bikes are so different to ride and the brakes are on the handle bars. It seems a bit strange and is a good way to take a fall. ' Love, Barbara Evelyn Trombly, Slfc CWAVESD Dear Mom, Dad and Kids, Last night I saw a piece of good entertainment. We saw Bob Hope in person. He broadcasted from here, did you hear him? You know the woman in the movies who is always trying to get a man, Vera Vague, she was with him. Also Marilyn Maxwell and Francislangkmd It wasswell. The broadcast lasted from 10 to 10:50 but he continued the show until aboutID43O.I was oneci'the lucky ones as you had to have a ticket to get in. So they put everyone's name, the 500 WAVES
