Dear WW: I don't know if I posted this before, but not all the rations were bad.
One night when I was on duty in what had been the pistol range at the University
of Santo Tomas, and had been converted into the Pathology morgue. A body was
brought in to be autopsied. On the stretcher was the remai;ns of a Major, with
about eight bullet holes in his back. I could tell that they had been made by US .45 cal.
bullets. Out of the corner of my mouth, so officer in charge of the ambulance could
not hear me, I asked one of the stretcher bearers "What did he do wrong?"
"Took all of the canadian Bacon out of the "C" rations for himself."
