Paul: Its funny the way some of the foreign language words got "basterdized" into
the G.I. language. Like (mugi ?) for food or eating, like (Parti?) for getting to hell out
of a place, and (beacaup ?) for many. Took me years to get it out of my vocabulary as
people back home couldnt understand what I was saying. Also certain "bad words" we
commonly used added to them which for a while caused me much embarasment for a
while until I got civilized again. My Dad who was a badly wounded ETO vet and sent
back home prior to me, would just look at me with a smile and shake his head, like "no",
but it kind of shook up the rest a bit. Didnt take too long to get civillized again though..
I believe you were with the 36th Div. Seems like the 36th, the 45th and our 3rd Div
were kind of brother outfits many times in many places.. Joe
