MORE FRIENDS AND THE LOCAL AREA
The Arabs would have as many as five or six
mules hooked up in a single row and they were always blocking
traffic. Sometimes we encountered herds of sheep which
were being herded along streets and roads.
Typical Arab children: note the absence of western type of
clothes. Most wear tops and bottoms stitched together
from rough cloth, grayish in color. These boys were
always trying to find something to do for us for which they
wanted payment most often in candy bars or some other objects
which they could use to barter.
Women washing their clothes. Note the rocks upon
which they scrubbed the clothing and how it was dried hanging
on trees and bushes.
Arab children: one carrying
unbaked bread to a central bakery. It is rough and grayish
dough with a hole in the center.
Would you believe? A snowman
in North Africa.
T/Sgt. Raymond Polzak
who was in charge of the men at headquarters. He had
a wonderful personality and had many friends; he was one
of my best buddies. Unfortunately, he was killed in
a car crash shortly after the war.
