Marion: Yes. Had a school friend who served in a Infantry Div. as a rifleman . On entering he had 20-200 vision and glasses were always needed. Met with him in Germany at wars end through keeping in touch all the time when possible. I believe he
always kept a copy of his prescription with him and if one pair got dammaged or lost it
would take a bit to get a second pair. He cursed them in the winter specially. But he made do and survived as a Infantry rifleman. God only knows how with his eyesight he became a Infantry rifleman. He was the one I met on getting on the La Crosse Victory
ship in Le Harve France by accident as neither of us knew when we would return home.
Was one hell of a surprise to both of us as only about 750 of us were on this ship. Although he is now in CA and I am in NJ he still comes here about once a year or so.
He lived only about 10 houses from where I still live. Still awaiting his next years visit.
God willing.
