At a Burma station, Pfc. Edward Montgomery spruces up, although many G.I.'s pride themselves on looking like Daniel Boone. Pvt. Ted Stocks wields the clippers. Sgt. Lee Wadeyka manicures. |
Informality reigns supreme out in the bushes. For instance, one can take a shower with his hat on in perfect comfort - like Cpl. George Bradof. A bamboo pipe carries the water from a nearby spring. |
Up at an Assam base, the Red Cross hired Omar the Tentmaker to do clothes mending for G.I.'s. Cpl. Arthur Sherman is shown getting a rush job done on the seat of his pants, not worn by desk work. |
The evenings are long in the tangled jungle and there are no shows, jig palaces and cocktail lounges to eat up the time. Some of the soldiers do what Cpl. James Bazinau, Cpl. George Bradof and Sgt. George Hill are doing here - wooing Lady Luck at cards. |
There aren't any fancy cooking ranges or utensils at most places. But a guy soon learns to use his ingenuity. Cpl. James Bazinau prepares his chow over an open fire, using a No.10 can as a utensil. |
Cpl. Albin Matijasic perches himself on a pole to rig up jungle communications. He has more ups and downs than an elevator man. |
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home. Making ready for an evening's sleep in their jungle home are Pfc. Russ Mussara, left, and Pvt. Jack Savage. No, it ain't the Astor, but it's theirs. |
