In the movies at home you see plenty of sob-stuff. But it's not the kind they dish out in the films that gets to you around here. I : aven't seen any medals on the men who tramp along the roads on their way to or returning from the front lines. When the weather's fine,' they are covered with dust. - Their eyes are red from it. Their faces look as though they had been mixing cement. When It's raining, mud covers their boots. They slip all over the place. Often they sprawl in it; with their packs and guns. Nobody laughs as they do when someone slides on a banana peel at home. I always thought it was custom ary to march ,to and from the lines singing. Well, I haven't heard much singing yet. Once or twice men in trucks have made noises which were too loud to be classified as talking. But they don't sing "Tipperary," "Madelon" or any of the gay songs we used to sing in 1917. Well, I haven't heard any of them, anyway. A little while ago I was return ing from covering a story. For a while our vehicle had to slow down to a walking pace.- The de lay was annoying. The planes which take our stuff over don't wait for late copy. As soon as we started off again I turned my head back to find out what had held us up. It was what the RAF boys call in their grim slang a "meat-wagon." To you, that means an ambulance. ' My companion, the officer who "eon ducts" our press party, remarked that whoever was in that "blood and guts" another RAF term for the conveyance "must be pretty sick." The driver was handling his van as though it were a perambulator. Maybe whoever was in there will get a medal. Who knows? I've seen long lines of these vans with their large red crosses paint ed on each side. Each time I've been struck by the lack of glory and the pathos. You find graves, here and there, with the little wooden crosses which were so familiar amid the Flanders poppies in 1918. Not much glory there either. There are lots of "unknown soldiers" ly ing about the roads too. But I haven't seen any cenotaphs above them or heard . flaming oratory about their deeds. The fact is, they're only unknown to the pub lic. But somewhere in the states, or in England or even in Ger manya mother suffered to fill one of these graves. Last time 1 was out in our truck, I saw a group of officers standing in a large circle around a twisted mass of metal in a field. A hun. dred yards away, there was what may have been the tail of a plane. Still farther off. there were bits which might have been almost anything you care to think of, but were now burned black. The other night I heard a lot of flak. So I put on my tin hat and went out to a nearby road crossing to find out if it was any different when you saw it. There was an MP there on duty all alone. I think he was glad of the company. When I was a G.I. in 1918 I heard a lot of men jeer at the MP's. They wouldn't jeer at this one. They don't let the men dig slit trenches in the middle of roads. So every once in a while, when you couldn't hear traffic coming, the MP would flatten himself be side a big stone wall. So did I. I wouldn't want that man's job. But 1 wouldn't want the job of sit ting all night on the ammunition trucks that were passing by. The more t see of these back-of-the-hnrs Jobs the more 1 feel that war isn't what it is cut out to be. rita.lt tout . , . Mall tana eouu r atamix Urrar than Se d. noturalinr,. 1U paliam caMtrt Ba !'
