Sunday
#145
Dear Ma, Pa, Barb, Ann & Ele,
It is Sunday afternoon and you'll be surprised to hear that the sun is out full blast and I am lying on my blanket on the sand between the two barracks with my shorts on getting a sun tan. Some news huh!
I went to the show last night and saw a revival picture "The Desperadoes" in technicolor. It was very exciting. Did you see it?
I don't think I ever said anything about this camp having German prisoners of war. Well yesterday I saw the stockade where they keep them. (I had to report there for guard duty; I had to check the passes of the fellows going to town). They certainly lead an easy life over here. I think most of them are happy to be here & there are some who still think Germany will win the war despite of all our victories. Very few of them can speak our language.
I am glad you liked the pictures and booklet & holy pictures. Yes it is unforgetable.
You ask me how the beer tasted. Well it wasn't bad but I'm not much of a beer drinker in the first place and in the second place it's G.I. beer (3.2%). Beer back home is 8 or 9% I think. But it's not bad.
Boy I bet Bob is happy that one of them is coming home anyway. I bet Henry has plenty of stories to tell. I'm just curious who is going to spend the most time with him, Bobby or Mr. Massa? I don't think Henry will like his fathers plans. Do you?
So Ele is finished for a while. I am proud of her and also that she did such a good job that he promised her a job upon returning. That is something.
I'm getting hot in this sun. I feel fine. I hope you all are too. Give my love & best wishes to Grandma. Until my next letter I remain
Your Loving Soldier Boy
Tony
P.S. I still haven't had a chance to get air mail stamps so this is another free one.
