Dear Folks:
Well, I am on another
outpost. I didn't think that
I would get a chance to
write for another long
period. However, they are
sending a truck out here
tomorrow so I will send
this letter in on the
truck.
I have been informed that
I am to be transferred on
14 Feb. to the 102nd Inf.
Div. which is going home.
This means that I should
be home around the
middle of March
Well, there's not much to
write about. I am away
out here in the middle of
nowhere. Our post is
2
situated at top of a high
hill. We can look down and
see the Danube off in the
distance we can see the
sun shining down on the
snow covered Alps. In fact,
the scenery is wonderful,
but the hunting is
terrible. We have been
out all day every day
and we haven't shot a
thing. My buddy got sick
today so he went back to
Passau via thumb, so I am
all alone here tonight. I'll
admit I am kind of jumpy.
I just got word that
two SS men escaped near
here today. They'll be trying
to get across the border
tonight.
Well, I guess that is
all for now. I just
3
wanted to let you know
about my transfer. So
long for now.
