“I've
been putting my single stripe to work these last ten days, our section seargent
was on a furlough, so I was given his duties.
We had some field problems and I was in charge of selecting the C.P.,
putting the radio into operation and estblishing securiety, which was a push
over. The most disagreeable part is
digging in.
"Chow
to-night was cold cuts, again, served in mess gear."

Letter from Dale Sooter (my father’s cousin), Camp Rucker, Ala., to my father,
Winfield, Kans., Saturday, May 15, 1943. (Spelling is per original.) Two days before this letter was written, on
May 13, Axis forces in Tunisia surrendered to Allied forces, ending the North
African campaign.
