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
