ON THE LIGHTER SIDE OF THE WAR,I HAVE A LITTLE THING INSTANCE I WILL TELL ON MYSELF.
OUR DIVISION HAD ALREADY WENT INTO ROME,AND BEYOND.SOMETIME LATER IWAS GIVEN A FIVE DAY PASS TO GO BACK TO ROME. THEY HAD MADE MUSSILINI'S PALACE OVERLOOKING ROME OUR REST CENTER.ANOTHER GUY FROM MY COMPANY WAS WITH ME,SO WE CHECKED IN,AND WENT STRAIGHT TO ROME.
WE WENT TO A HOTEL AND RENTED IT FOR THE FIVE DAYS WE WERE GOING TO BE THERE,THE ROOM NOT THE HOTEL. WE LOOKED AT SOME OF THE SITES,AND VISITED A LOT OF THE BARS,WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO BACK TO THE HOTEL,I ASK MY BUDDY WHAT THE NAME OF THE HOTEL AND THE STREET IT WAS ON.
HE DIDN'T REMEMBER AND NEITHER DID I. SO WE HAD TO GO RENT ANOTHER ROOM. MONEY WAS NO PROBLEM,YOU COULD BORROW FROM YOUR BUUDDIES ANYTIME YOU COULD GO ON A PASS. FOR YOU DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD EVER GET TO GO ON ANOTHER ONE.
I WONDER IF ROQUE EVER PULLED A STUNT LIKE THAT?
