We’ve dug a million ditches and cleared off miles of ground We’ve drank our beer and whiskey in every joint we’ve found. But there is one consolation, gather round me whiles tell; When we die we’ll go to Heaven for we’ve had our stretch of Hell. We have built a million kitchens for cooks to burn our beans; We’ve stood a million guard mounts and we’ve cleaned the camp latrines; We've slept at night with scorp ions and peeled a million spuds. And killed a million snakes and ants who’ve tried to steal our duds. When our work on earth is end ed then our friends will tell: “When they died they went to Heaven for they’d done their stretch in Hell.” When the final taps have Sound ed, and we lay aside life’s cares; When we stand our last inspec tion on the shining golden stairs; The angeE they will .welcome us —their golden harps they’ll Play; We’ll draw a million canteen checks and spend them in one day.

There has been many accounts of his out.TanHing bravery writ ten up in various papers. Mrs Ackerman had with her the Pur ple Heart medal for Military Merit and also a pin which Ray mond had received for being a pistol expert. Raymond’s sweet heart in Queenstown, Australia has written and sent pictures of herself and Raymond, taken when he was stationed at that place. Raymond will be remembered by local friends as “Bush" who always rode in the bronc riding contests at the Wolf Point Stam pede. He has a younger brother Wilbert who plans on joining the Navy a little later in the year. Mr Ackerman, has a fine letter from the Chaplain in New Guinea which the Herald-News is pleased (to print at this time: OFFICE OF THE REGIMENTAL CHAPLAIN June 15, 1943 Mr Wesley Ackerman F'razer, Montana. I am sure .that you. will be pleased to learn that the mem ory of your dear son, Ray, who so bravely gave his life for our beloved country, has not been forgo ten by his comrades. On Decoration Day, a bouquet of beautiful wild flowers was placed on his grave. His name is inscribed on a white cross at the head of the grave. The beau tilication of the cemetery has just been completed. Large flower beds have been made and several trees and bushes planted. The upkeep of the grave and ihe cemetry is being cared for by the U S Graves Registration ser vice. A very appropriate Memor ial day service was conducted for ail the deceased members of our regiment. On account of military‘censor ship, I am not at liberty at the present tune to give you the lo cation where Ray is buried, ex cept to state that it is in New Guinea. At the tim-e of the in terment, a Chaplain, preferably one-of the same faith as the de ceased. always conducted the service. If I can be of any service to you, please let me knorw. May our Heavenly Father . comfort you in'your great sorrow. Sincerely yours in the Master’s service. . . Harold Siqueland, Major Regimental Chaplain. JAMES SPRAGUE WRITES FROM TENNESEE CAMP Pvt’.

The Captain inter viewed us today. He asked us what we wanted to do and then he told us what we’d do. It was just a formality, I guess. I am assigned as a driver of two and one-half ton truck. That suits me okay as long as I couldn’t get into a shop as a mechanic. Sure is a lot better than being a ma chine gunner or a 155 howitzer gunner. We had a big inspection today and oui- battery igot by okay. We're on the ball. The first thing we TDs had to do was to rip off our panther insignia and put on the red and white deuce of the second army. That kind of hurt in a way.
