Dick Cornelius of the SI 1th Para­

Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Cornelius, of
Bandon, commenting on his part in
the campaign on Luxon and his im­
pressions of the people and their cus­

Dear Mom:—It’s the same old story,
another island, another battle and
another siege of malaria. I am al­
ready over the malaria, having only
one bad day and night of it this time,
being up and around the next day
but still in for observation.
I imagine you have read about the
llth Airborne’s part in the battle of
Manila, etc., but my own part was
insignificant, as' I just got tot the
battles after they had progressed
quite a ways. I was still in the hos­
pital at Leyte when the outfit pulled
out, so I missed the jump. When I
did get in, it seemer as tho’ I spent
ail my time ducking into doorways or
behind walls, dodging artillery shells.
There was a difference, of course, in
this campaign as it was fought in
cities and garrisons, instead of moun­
tains.
