Big Navy binoculars which
my platoon used daily resting them on a block of wood. Lots of
parachutes for padding. They watched the line of fires in Manila to
determine our progress (last week on Corregidor.) We had strict orders
not to damage or put away chutes. MacArthur's party carried all they
could hold while we guarded them.
Bless 'em All,
