WHO FELL IN BATTLE
Montanans in New Guinea,
who joined in paying tribute to
their comrades who had fallen
in battle against 'the Jap, helped
observe Memorial day this year
in two ceremonies, a letter from
Chaplain (major) Harald Sique
land to Mrs Siqueland in Glas
gow, states.
''Memorial day had a much
greater significance for our men
this year. I wish that the moth
ers and relatives could have
been here. They would surely
have seen that their dear ones
were not forgotten.” Chaplain
Siqueland wrote. Services were
conducted “in the area” and at
a cemetery.
The day preceding Memorial
day, Chaplain Siqueland and his
assistants srtarted gathering wild
jungle flowers and malde indi
vidual bouquets for the graves.
They also made a huge cross
”12 by 6 feet, the frame of heavy
fence wiring and netting. This
we covered with ferns, inter
spersed with yellow wild peas
ad purple bougainvilla. It was
beautiful.” The usual evening
rain kept the flowers as fresh
as if they had just been picked.
The cross was used as a back
ground for the speakers’ stand, i

Answers to "ITS TIME YOl) KNEW" by Lawrence
It is easier for soldiers to march in step because of the rhythm
of the soldiers in front.
The Rate-of-Climb Indicators such as those manufactured by
the Bulova Watch Company have indicated that the coldest tem
perature found above the earth is over the Equator.
The SPARS are associated with the Coast Guard.
The new pennies are now made of steel.
From Men In
Uncle Sams Forces
The white crosses, row on row
in the cemetery, “had been dec
orated with the most marvelous
blending of wild flowers found
anywhere. We shall never forget
the impressiveness of the occas
sion and the surroundings,”
_ ' ipla.n Siqueland adds.
The program included music
by the regimental band. Chap
lain Siqueland gave the invoca
tion and remarks were made by
the regimental commander, then
“Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address”
was read by a member of the
regiment, a former instructor in
speech. The principal address
was given by the former regi
mental commander, now a brig
adier general, who had led the
regiment in battle.
The salute by a firing squad
followed and the program closed
with “Taps", playing of the na
tional anthem and the benedict
ion.
“Needless to say, all of us who
were there thought. 'Take off
your shoes because you stand on
holy ground,’ ’’ the letter con
tinues.
Speaking of the relatives at
home, he says, “Their baltitles of
anxiety go on continually, when
in reality ours are but very
short. It is but rarely that we
are in battle; We really do not
suffer so much. If we could only
tell them and make them under
stand—then we would not be
worried about them worrying
over us.
“These and many other thots
pass through our minds as we
stand in 'this cemetery so close
to the battlefield.”
