Corporal "Bud" Kalrclo, now
In Tunisia, writes his mother,
Mrs, Gcorgo Lewis of Dairy, that
they have been herding German
and Italian prisoners around. He
said that a sight which he never
expected to sec was when they
surrendered. They came stream
ing out of the hills In their own
trucks, driven by their own men
and it was nothing to have a
truck load stop and ask tho way
to the nearest prison camp.
Falrclo writes that the Ger
mans still think that they arc
going to win the war and the
question that they asked the
most was "Do you think that
they will send us to America?"
He says that he has seen over
1700 miles of the African coast
and a lot of inland. He enjoys
the swimming more than any
thing over there yet, but says he
will never again have a hanker
ing to rove around. He writes
that a fellow really learns to ap
preciate his home town after be
ing over there, in fact, if he
never gets farther than Dairy, it
will suit him all right.
Ho has many interesting sou-
veniers if the army will let him
keep them, including a German
mosquito net in his pup tent to
keep off the flies and mosquitos.
He Is camped under a lemon
tree, and mentioned that he
never did see such big fields of
grain, alfalfa, and vlnyards as
he has seen there,
