| dc.description.transcription | 5-18-45Dear Folks,?School days, school days, Dear old golden school days --That is what it will be from now on in the E.T.O. idol hands and idol minds cause one to get into devilment. Anyway that is the way the Army looks at it. We are going to start to full time ground Monday with P.T. and everything. Admittedly there are lots of things I can still learn but me, I’druther loaf. This looks like they intend to keep us here for quite a while but you can never tell. They’ll keep right on white washing fences, cutting weeds, and everything right on up to the day we leave. So far no one knows when that will be. “I don’t know how I’m going home, I don’t know when I’m going home. I just know I want to go home. You can bet your last bloody shilling I know that.” When I get home I’ll say that for you.There is no news, I just wanted you to know that everything is still going over here. I’m over my cold, sore throat and what not and am feeling fine.Bed time now,All my love,Joe |
