losing weight in the ETO

[SonofaMP]

Dad had said he always had trouble with the arabs stealing anything they could get their hands on.

One of the few stories he told was when he was a train guard in north africa with the 794th MP Bn. He and 1 other MP was assigned the guard a supply train going to Tunisia.

( usualy there were 3 - 5 guards on a supply train < 6 if they were hauling Rocky`s combat boots > but there was only the 2 of them on this train. Then the train broke down in the mountains and it took 3 days to get it fixed & running again. So dad was on one side of the train and the other fella was on the other side. They couldnt sleep for the 3 days the train was broke down & dad said they were runnin low on ammo chasing off the arabs most every night.
