Among these i uny were those who sered in the Quartermaster Corps, lay Parker served in this corps us a laundry specialist. The laundry units processed countless tons oj critical bedding, clothing and other items during the U.S. udvance through France, Belgium, and Germany (as well as in the Pacific Theater und elsewhere). Their work during the Buttle of the Bulge was especially notable, when the need for clean clothing, medical dressings and bedding was so crucial. In one encounter in France, the Quartermaster laundrymen actually joined in a battle between American tanks and German Ger-man foot sol Hers, killing several Germans, capturing eight, and chasing .h( remainder. Clean clothing and shower facilities were cnticul in preventing pre-venting disease, maintaining soldier morale, ai.d assuring general sanitation. Parker served in a laundry unit in the Pacific Theater in New Guinea, the small islands of Biuk and Owi. the Philippines, Philip-pines, andJupun. What follows is the first part of two-part excerpt from his story. t Fort Douglas, where I was inducted, in-ducted, the army was look in ; for Tien for the in- Ltantry, graves registration and quartermaster. quartermas-ter. By the grace of God, I was assigned (why, I don't know) to the Quartermaster Corps, the better of the three. I was at Fort Douglas for three days, then was shipped out to Fort F. F.. Warren, just outside of Cheyenne, out in the middle of the Wyoming desert. The wind blew, hut we still marched out on the wind-swept prairies, even at night; we fired guns on the rifle range, the sand blowing in our eyes. We were at Fort W irren for six months, most of it basic, and then for two months or so, we were assigned o a laur.dry detachment. We learned how to sort clothes. We leaned how to run the washing machines, ma-chines, extractors (wringers), and dryers. We were taken to a private laundry in town, which I guess got some free labor from the GI's. (It wasn't till we got overseas that we actually ac-tually got our mobile laundry unit, on a semi-trailer truck.) After training, we were sent to Portland, Ore., where we boarded a Liberty Ship and headed for New Guinea. As sxn as we got onto the choppy water off the coast, we got a little queasy, but some of the sailing in the South Pacific was beautiful smooth water, flying fish. It Ux)k us 30 days to get to Finschhafen, New Guinea, a Dutch colony, where we were paid in guilders. And it was a mudhole rain, rain, rain. There were big bats, as big as seagulls, and anaconda pythons. In Finschhafen, we ' mwqw ret otts may? c-omrnufW bar tenets tf-A& sat.r. I i 11 (?) 9- the lines Reports vary, but estimates are that in WWII it took from 10 to 15 men and women Fay Parker just worked in lie warehouses for three months, because our unit hadn't gotten its assignment assign-ment yet. We were in a wait ing mode. We were assigned to 180th Laundry Detachment, then later, overseas, to the 92nd F.vacuation Unit. T here were 33 men in our unit, and our job was to nii.n the mobile laundry facility. It was a pretty pret-ty good bunch of guy s we had gcxxi relal ionships; and we were together all the way through the rest of the w ar. We washed clothes and bedding, bed-ding, and when we were later near combat, that included all the bkxKiy sheets from the hospital where casualties were brought. (Sheets and clothing with bkxxi on them must first be put through a cold-water rinse, not hot water.) What we did was really quite a service to be able to give t he soldiers clean bedding and clothes. I Next week: How a mobile laundry works. And l ay Parker Park-er is in harm's way three times.
