A lot of truth in these replies. Very rarely do I go into details of combat conditions to
anyone but another of the same type. Even on here. However the day to day happenings should be brought forth as rarely do the people realize the usual conditions
we lived, and the things we now believe interesting and should be brought up to give some idea of the usual day to day life we led and conditions for front line troops. We are not hiding our "bad times in combat". But usually try to forget them or go over them sparingly to others not in the same "job" we were in or not in service. But, get a few of "us" together and the stories do fly right and left. But only usually to this select
few. Otherwise we talk genarilities about the war, rations, clothing, equiptment and the likes and houmorous things. Any WW 2 G.I.s should keep all papers and a written history for their offsprings so they have a good idea of what and where they served.
All is a important part of history and should not be kept from them. Naturally, some things should be left untold.
