There's where I found war as the folks at home can never see it. Gen. Stilwell backed up their stiff Jap resistance. All the sights will mever leave my mind. As we walked over bomb torn build- ings we saw tanks, many of our enemy's but some of ours, blown apart, blood stains, hand to hand fighting was all around. I found a hand Prayer Book in a foxhole. It belonged to a G.I. who died there. Then I began to realize what it had been like. I could hear our Lord telling me to go on where that G.I. left off for he would want it that way. Then I thought of Gen. Stilwell's remark, ‘I'm going back to Burma”. When he said that he had not the value of the land in mind, but wanted only to hand back the punishment that the Japs gave us. Gen. Stilwell went back and Burma was free. I came on into China with alti- tudes as high as 14,000 feet but from Bommo on I felt more like fighting for those men who had died. I thought I had realized what war was like before, but this spot made an impression on not only me. but all the boys. Water was not plentiful, one cup a day, food was scarce. Every so often we would find a stray duck or chicken, we would stop, clean it up and soup would be our supper. Nights were no fun either, all kinds of bugs feeding on us. We pulled up with only one truck missing, We worked, three of us, feeding the boys and then pounding the road driving. When peace came, we didn’t shoot guns or make a lot of noise. were given to our Lord for his blessings, church songs echoed through the night, I saw tears in the eyes of many boys, fellows who had been here three years and never saw that last furlough. The next day we all slept until noon. We found out G.I’s all over the world spent ‘the night just as we did. I wish to give my thanks to Rev. Ira Button of Sweet Valley and to my wife who stood close to me in this trying time. Thank you, Sah corporal in China Albert G. Allen ® It’s good to hear from you, boy.

(OPPOSITE THE FIRE HOUSE) Dressed Phone Orders to DALLAS 520 Ceiling Prices that Returning G.I.'s Plan New Homes Colonial And Ranch Types Most Popular CORAL GABLES, FLA.: — “It takes a heap o’ livin’ to make a house a home, but it takes a heap of planning, too!” say convales- cent soldiers in the home planning classes at the AAF Regional and Convalescent Hospital here. The classes are a feature of the Convalescent Services division of the hospital to acquaint prospect- ive GI home builders with problems of home planning, financing, site selection, water supply, building materials, drainage, wiring, heating and taxes. ; “Over two thirds of these men come from small town and farm districts,” reports Lt. Garry BG. Clay, officer in charge, “and they all plan to build back in their old home neighborhoods. Their fa- vorite style of architectural seems to be the ranch house, long, low, and spacious, although the New England Colonial is popular, too.” The farm house of the future will, in many cases, be a com- nation home and office. Lawyers, doctors, veterinarians, and radio repairmen intend to build offices and shops into the farm house structure. There will be ample space for game and hobby rooms, too. “We accept each soldier just as a civilian architect would accept a client,” say Corporals Earle F. Cripps and Chester L. Craft, in- structors. “We make rough sket- ches of the proposed house, com- pute costs, and then go ahead with the final plans. Many of the pa- tients bring along their wives. That's good because women in- stinctively know just what should be planned into a house.” In their houses of tomorrow these couples insist on large clo- sets and kitchens, fireplaces, plenty of electrical outlets, indirect light- ing, quick-freezing units, large single-pane windows, built-in book- shelves, extra bathroom, stationary washtubs, concrete driveways, and enclosed play areas for small chil- dren. The average GI intends to spend between $6500 and $8000 for his house of dreams.

The blending of the red, orange, rust, through to yellow of the various leaves, mixed with the green of the hemlock and pine is certainly a beautiful picture to behold. I can appreciate it even more now that I missed seeing it this year. It is still warm here during the day so one is very comfortable in a summer dress without a coat or sweater. Hawever, after the sun goes down it cools off so a heavy wool dress or a small coat is needed. I am just waiting for the points for WAC's to be lowered again so I may use my 29 points to get my discharge and come home. Isn't word—home— and the farther one gets from it, the more home means to her? I want to take this opportunity to thank you and al] those who help you in sending The Dallas Post to us who are away from home. Words cannot express the joy I have had reading The Post since I came into the service. I must confess that sometimes I sorta have that “homesick” feeling as I read all about my friends, but it is as good as a letter from home. I hope my next address will be R.D. 2, Dallas, but until that future date I'll have to be satisfied with Louisiana. I thank “you all”’again for The Post. This faithful and un- tiring service you have given Untle Sam’s nieces and nephews will live in our hearts forever. So long, Loy ts October 23, 1945 Dear Mom and family, I guess I should” have written sooner but I am just lazy. I am writing this letter in Chicago while we are waiting to get the engine watered. We left Sampson last night about 6 o'clock on a pullman. There are three boys in a group, Bill Powers, Tom Pendergast and I in our group. They are going to the same ship as I and were in my old company, so it isn’t bad at all. We are now moving, so maybe you won’t be able to read the writing. Last "hight when"*we went to sleep we were in New York and when we woke up we were in Indiana. We got up‘at six, washed and got in line for chow. We had orange, coffee and bacon and eggs. In Indiana all you could see was flat farm land. The towns were all small houses stretched out. They looked to be about three or four rooms. In Chicago all we can see is factories. We are now going through the railroad yard, about ten sets of tracks. We saw a couple of streamliners go by. Boy, are they nice. They look just like the little electric trains we used to be able to buy. We are now in Galesburg, Ill I think we must be getting water again. I have eaten and slept since I wrote last. We had good chow for dinner, chicken, potatoes, soup and peaches. Here you can see for miles, farm land, mostly corn fields and a few cow pastures. Now we can see a flock of sheep and some pigs. There are hundreds of acres of corn, some of it cut. Before we pulled out of Chicago we saw a troop train full of Cana- dian soldiers. We just passed through a small town with two stores and one I.O/O.F. Hall. All the roads here are of dirt. We are now in Burlington, Iowa. We just crossed the Mississippi. It is a pretty big river. From what I can see of Burlington it is a town about as big as Wilkes-Barre. A train load of discharged soldiers came in and boy, did they razz us. Just had chow again. This time it was cold cuts, bread, cheese, pickles, pineapple and cake. The cake is made like bread but it tastes good. We had grapefruit juice to drink. The landscape is a lot different now. The land is not so flat. Not so much corn, and woods now and then. It is still farm land. It’s getting dark now and we can see the lights of a city. iWe are in Nebraska now. Just had chow, scrambled eggs, bacon, orange marmalade and coffee. I don’t know what we stopped for now, but I see some cars with lumber on them covered with snow. We just passed a flock of ducks and geese. Boy, I wish I had a gun and could have stopped and got a few of them. The landscape now is like the West in the movies, flat and sandy. You see a lot of horses and cows, but mostly horses. I thing Pop would like it here, not too many hills. Along the tracks it is fairly flat and there are a lot of English pheasants. We are still in Nebraska, Alliance is the town. There is an Army air base here and there is supposed to be an Indian reservation. We just passed snow covered moun- tains. We just left Crawford, Neb. and there were seven girls at the station. Boy, did the windows go up fast. I got a chance to talk to one of them for a while. Chow again, hot dogs, sauerkraut, bread, grapefruit juice and cake. Well, Mom, we are in Montana. The ground has about three inches of snow on it. The landscape is just like the west, sage brush and hills. I had guard duty in the chow car last night from 10 to 12 and I had plenty to eat. You should see the beautiful sights, the mountains off in the distance are above the clouds and they are snow-capped. I never saw a more beautiful sight. All the houses here are one story, about the size of our bungalow. We just passed through a town called “Big Timber”, boy what names. We are now in Washington. We PAGE THREE passed through the capitol around 6 o'clock this morning. It was a pretty big city. We will hit Ta- coma about 5 o'clock. Tomorrow is Navy Day and I don’t know whether we will take part or not. The land here is very dry, all you can see is hills covered with sage brush and dry buffalo grass. Every so often we hit a one-horse town with the one store, gas sta- tion and cafe. Just a few lines more. We ar- rived here at Tacoma about 8 o'clock. Got off the train and on a truck that brought us right to the ship. We were assigned to bunk and then ate. After that we carried our sea bags up on the ship and walked around a bit. This is a nice ship and the fellows seem like a good group. I guess I'll like the sea life. Well, Mom I guess I'll close now.
