Got another letter from Armonde today.
Glad to hear from you, For starters, we arrived Nettlebed, Eng., about July 15, l942. We were attached to the Bristish army and thereby under their command, which meant that they also had to feed us. ( mutton and liver was the main staple ) which caused many of us to head for Henley, a few miles away for fish and chips. I have the dates on which we enter the different places etc., also a list of over eight hundred names and adresses ( for that time ) For instance, Harry J Drake. RD 1, St Ignatious, Montana . All members of the 343rd. I served in the HQS Company as the Regimental Supply Clerk. I could go on and on. Most all that I did correspond with, are now gone. There is only one that I keep in touch with now. Sgt Harlan Geise. He was the Regimental Surveyor. In fact, just got a letter from him yesterday. Hey, keep in touch. Incidently, the outfit was know as "The Bridge Builders"................Armonde
