No Glamour
Found In War
By Henry Tosti Russell
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE. U.PJ
War is not what it's cut out to
be.
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.
