We were needed as jeep drivers, because we didn't drink. In Texas, I hadn't told anybody I was a Mormon, but somehow they found out. Every weekend, a guy would bring me a bottle and say, "Will you keep this liquor for me so I'll have an eye-opener on Monday?" Word got around, so every weekend, I'd have a whole locker full of bottles. General Eisenhower had his own driver, a British woman, so we drove all the four-star generals and other officers around, wherever they needed need-ed to go in the London area. As a driver, I had a permanent perma-nent dispatch that allowed me to go anywhere in northwestern northwest-ern Europe. While in England, I was often in "buzz-bomb alley," and we were being bombed regularly by the German buzz bombs. Our tents had a sandbag barrier around them. Day and night, there'd be a guard out. He would blow a whistle when he heard a buzz bomb coming. If it was night, we'd automatically roll out of bed into a foxhole by the side of our bed. Many nights I remember waking up in the foxhole, not having remembered remem-bered hearing the whistle.

I still keep in a little box a small piece of metal, which is all I could find of the bomb, My jeep was just one big, mangled mess. A lady just down the street did not have time to get into her air raid shelter; the concussion knocked her against the shelter shel-ter and killed her. Another bomb fell when we were about ready to invade France. Our commander com-mander had lined up 12 jeeps, three abreast and four deep. Eisenhower had ordered that there be no accumulation of vehicles anywhere; they were to be scattered. Here came a bomb, and we men all scattered. The bunch of jeeps were blown up. The port commander came running out, grabbed our commander, a major, by both shoulders, jerked off his oak leaves, and said, "As of now, you're a private!" We had to go back to Newcomb to get new jeeps. We were supposed to land in Normandy on June 5, but that day was too stormy. Our jeeps were put aboard a ship. We were told, "Before you land, you need to waterproof your vehicle." We packed a soft clay material round the sparkplugs and the distributor, distribu-tor, brought a hose from the carburetor up to the windshield, wind-shield, and hooked a hose to the exhaust. We'd been told we'd be on the fifth wave. Our jeeps, with us in them, were swung over the side of the ship in a net and lowered down onto a landing mat. We were then told, "Start your engines!"

Combat engineers were blowing up the big steel barriers the Germans had planted in the water off the beach. We drove around knocked-out vehicles, while keeping our eyes on the beach. Navy bombardment was coming over us from one direction, and German shells were coming from the shore. You'd see a big plume of water wa-ter and say, "Well, he missed me" Then another plume "He missed me again." Another plume "He missed me." If you weren't hit, you were still going. We came up on the beach from maybe 200 feet out, really digging. Then we got under the cliffs, where the Germans couldn't shoot us. We were supposed to rendez- vous at St. Lo, but the ramp up the cliffs hadn't yet been opened. The Germans had put concrete barriers across the road, so the combat engineers had to blow them up, after which the bulldozers moved them out of the way. It was a couple of hours before the ravine-road up the cliff was opened for us. Next week: Joseph Stott drives officers (and sometimes only himself) all over France and Germany. Some veterans may wish, on their own, to tape or digital record their memories of military service. These will be transcribed and archived.
