losing weight in the ETO

[twobisquit]

My guess on the matress covers was like Roque said, they were to be stuffed with straw.Horace Kepart's 1906 book on Woodcraft recommended carrying matress covers since they could be folded and easily carried. I have a feeling that SgtLeo's was a trick question but that's my guess.

 

I had not heard of the Arabs making pants. That sounds like quite a sight Roque! Dad said they used them to wrap their dead but I seem to remember him saying they wore them also. Do you suppose the old Arab Greybeards sit arouund telling their grand children about the shrewd deals they made with the American GI's?
