Show LPHTRA Y L RK P MB R 9 2006 tied a knot in it. We were wearing dungarees and they were t o tight t carry anything I kept it in my footlocker and my sea bag. When I went to Korea, I didn't want to lose that book so I had it with m all the time. I kept it in my tent that I stayed in when I was down off the line. I was with a couple of other guys. I read it and keep it around and so forth. I've never been much of a scriptorian by the way, but I read and I understand and I feel and believe. Anyway, so here was this other guy with this Bible. When he came in and I first met him-his name was Donald Berger-! didn't know much about him. He was a big guy, about six-foot-one, or thereabouts. When I first came in and saw him, he was lying on his bunk. That's when I saw his Bible. His head was clear up to this end of his cot and his feet were hanging over the other end of his cot. He was a big rangy guy. His feet were crossed in the back and he had his hands under his forehead. When he woke up later on, we talked back and forth a little bit and we became pretty good friends. But he was working with a different company than I was. A battalion (regiment) has, well, an infantry battalion (regiment) has about five or six different companies, A, B, C, D, E, F, I, J, K. [Editor 's note: The Second Infantry Division, in Korea, was primarily composed of the, the 91h, 23rd, and the 381h Infantry Regiments. Each infantry regiment was composed of infantry companies A-K, which were grouped into infantry battalions of three companies each. In addition, the division also had four or jive Field Artillery Battalions (including Mr. Clark 's 381 h FA), an antiaircraft battalion, a tank battalion, an engineering battalion, signals, MP, QM, ordnance, recon, and replacement companies, several headquarters companies, and a division band.] I was with Company B. Yes, B. I don't remember what company he was 49 |
