The battalion fires called for forced the enemy to keep under cover and resulted in the withdrawal to safety of the crew of nearly all the knocked-out tanks.  

Yesterday some Germans got behind me and I took one tank and 30 men and started after them

Betty if you remember how to play hide & seek well that is war without shooting.

Everyone in the unit is ok.  It rains every day and we do get wet.  And the last five nights it has really been cold.  A little frost this morning on the ground.
