Description
Summary:Somewhere in the Aleutians, Neild got a "battered Sunday edition of the San Diego Union" newspaper. On the "damp pages" he found Pat Saunders's "Aztecnicalities" about lonely soldiers in Balboa Park laughable. He explains by relating his last year sleeping in mud, bathing in his helmet in freezing cold. He read his first newsletter in a foxhole. He signs "Just Plain Bill," the title of a radio soap opera.
