J-BAR #18287 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 My grand uncle Wayne was a cook aboard one of the D-Day armada troop carriers. He drank vanilla extract pilfered from the galley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Our guys may have had plenty of food, but eating it was another matter. I read Eugene Sledge's book where he talked about trying to take a chow break on Peleliu among the piles of bloated rotting corpses that were everywhere. Besides the smell he couldn't even take a bite without ingesting a fly or two at the same time, as they were so thick in the air they were landing on everything. There, with that lovely thought you guys can all break for lunch now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
