Show Terrified Soldier Was Well On Way to Being AW PL A number of soldiers home on furlough in the states met and were relating their experiences. Each one tried to outdo, the other in expressing his early fears. "The way I dug my foxhole," said one of them, who had been at Guadalcanal, "was something for you to see. Each time a shell burst I dug deeper and deeper into that hole. "Finally I heard a voice above me. It was my lieutenant yelling down at me: " 'Thompson! Hey you, Thompson! Thomp-son! If you dig two inches deeper, deep-er, I'm going to charge you with desertion!' " |
