losing weight in the ETO

3rdinf, what could you get from home? anything? My Dad got cookies once

(or at least he TOLD his mother that he got em).

His mother was Irish and used to make the traditional fruitcake

at Christmas (I think it took about a month to make). Dad LOVED it (yuck!)!

In one of his letters, he writes that he had some SS Pierce Fruitcake

that someone sent to his buddy. He was so enthused, you'd think it

was a steak.

 

I hate that "postcard photo" he sent to his mother (what was he thinking?!!)

He looks like he belongs in a hospital or like somebody who'se been in a POW camp.

 

BTW - the general that I heard my Dad speak highly

of, was the 3rd's Lucien Truscott.
