Show GIs Sweat Day and Night but Deliver . At the edge of a pasture, sitting cross-legged on the grass or on low boxes as though they were at a picnic, pic-nic, are 13 men in greasy soldiers' coveralls. Near them on one side is a shop truck with a canvas canopy stretched out from it, making a sort of patio alongside the truck. And under this canopy and all over the ground are rifles usty and broken rifles. This is the small arms section of our medium ordnance company. To this company comes daily in trucks the picked up, rusting rifles of men killed or wounded, and rifles broken in ordinary service. There are dozens doz-ens of such companies. This company turns back around a hundred rifles a day to its division, all shiny and oily and ready to shoot again. |
