They were separated from B Unit hence they were saddled with the difficult task a new of clearing and preparing field for our hospital. Hidden in kunai grass, and under a scorching sun, the boys labored for weeks at every conceivable task except what they were trained fo the gigantic tasks before Among them was tapping the source of water for our area miles up in the mountains, lavishly flowing, crystal clear water. With undying determination, the 4.inch pipes were carried through dense growths and over huge rocks. The job was not an easy one; it was really a problem for en. gineers but the medics did it. A salute goes to the Crossed Pipe among Wrench Boys, for today, well performed deeds, stands this cherished and most appreciated mon. ument the water line. The Coconut Cluster as well as the Crossed Pipe Wrench Boys relish its facilities. No longer do we have to brush our teeth, shave, wash mid shower in a helmet, ful of water. Late in October '43, we were unit, ed, and then came a new name; the Cluster and Crossed 3fiOth. Coconut Pipe Wrench Boys. Today many of the faces have disappeared, some through the will of God, others due to evacuation and rotation. However, in our hearts live the memories of the 2Sth Surgical Hospital, the Co. conut days and the Pipe Wrench .5 tut in days; now the everpresent conversations of the Regardless days. and the arguments, our unit today has been born from the tedious tasks of yesterday.
