losing weight in the ETO

[twobisquit]

I found several references about selling mattresses to the Arabs. In seperate memoirs it said they woult tie rope to the mattressfrom aboard a train and drag the Arab until he let go. They would then sell the mattress cover in the next town. They were being paid $20 each so there was quite alot of bartering between the GI's also. One soldier said the deals were revenge for all the stuff they stole
