War Ends a Little Too Late for Soldier With Missing Legs
. s
By WILLIAM C. BARNARD
SEOUL (A The freshly wound
ed young soldier in the Army hos
pital was astonished when I told
him the shooting was over.
, Many hours before, the armistice
had been signed. But he, lying
miserably In a corner of the silent
ward, had not ' heard. There was
no radio in the ward and no one
had thought to ' tell him.
You mean they signed it?" he
asked. " . -'
And then his eyes shifted to the
sheet Covering I two stumps.
"If I could have just made it a
few hours more, I'd be. walking
when I meet my wife again. I
don't know what she's going . to
think about this."
He ran his strong fingers through
a shock of brown hair.
'All those delays," ..he mused.
'"They could have, signed just as
easy a month ago two months
ago. I'm glad the war has ended
for a lot of tn y buddies. AH of
us was praying for it. But for
me it ended a little too late. Just
a little, but too late."
' Agony touched the hazel eyes of
this 20-year-old private. ",
"How do you think she'll take
it?" I wasn't too unlucky. Two
guys with me got killed and others
were hurt.
We haven't beenmarried very
long just since February. I got
sent, over here in May When the
Army tells her about me being
wounded, will they say just exact
ly what's happened to me? ,
"I sure hope they won't. I want
to be the one to explain things.
Maybe I can break it easier. I'll
write her just as soon as I .feel
up to it. r "
a There wasn't any chance of
saving either one of them. They
had to take both of them off.. They
explained all about it to me be
fore they; operated yesterday.
"I got wounded Saturday mid
night and they operate on me Sun
day and now the war ends on Mon
day. "Too bad I couldn't have lasted
until Monday." ' ;

before it had seriously injured
him Mrs. Welk, attracted by the
noise chased it joff.
