Pfc Bill Held of Chambers, Neb.,
and Pvt. : Norman Cassidy of De
troit are still bragging about the
drinking they did while In Rome
without getting drunk.
They met a Brooklyn-born Ital
ian who asked fhem if they were
thirsty. "Yep," they chorused 'and
at that mom e n't they - weren't
thinking of cognac, wine or any
thing but water.
But the thing they weren't ex
pecting was 10 gallons of cold milk
the first fresh milk they'd tasted
since leaving the states.'
So the boys sat down and toast
ed the faking of Rome with glass
after glass of moo juice.
Upon Lake Bolsena Staff Sgt
Ralph Munoz of Los Angeles was
astonished; to learn there were
people who didn't know you could
go f 1 s h I n g with handgrenades
when that's all the tackle you
have.
"It ; paralyzes them," the serge
ant explained. All you have to do
is pick up the fist and bring them
back, fix them on a Coleman stove
and you've got everything."
The people of tiny Onano still
aren't quite sure what happened
Some, say it was like a tornado;
Others, insist it seemed more like
a whirlwind. They are the few
who stayed in : Onano during the
Fifth army stay while moot of the
town's population ; pulled out; to
the hills until we shooting ended.
Giuseppe, who used to run a
bicycle repair shop, is one of those
who stayed Wild-haired and wild
eyed, he is still groping for words
to explain what happened
;The Germans were here," he
said, : we remember that. A n d
then, quick! The Germans are not
here and the French are here in
town. ! And then, quick Out they
go again.", . ' :
Giuseppe was not the only one
who .was slightly harried. Sgt

of Sandusky, Ohio and Cpt

The lieutenant is a forward ob
server for 155 howitzers and wears
the artillery crossed guns tatooed
on his right arm. Hughes ' is his
driver. -
"Whn Ji goes this fac you've
got to fire fast, Menefee said.
There's no time for digging posi
tions when there's a target and the
gun's on the road All; you do Is
haul It off to the side and fire. By
then tte Target's ready to retreat"
"Just hit and run," said Hughes.
"We hit and then run."
