You listen close enough every now and
then you may hear the burst of

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:11.406
artillery in the background because
we're speaking to you from just behind

00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:15.726
the lines with the 43rd wings victory
division standing beside me as

00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.717
Sergeant Reese, L brewer of pine dale.

Gordon german prisoners at camp
roberts, California. Well then you're

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.917

a pioneer platoon. We are clearing

00:00:45.539 --> 00:00:49.866
roads of all mines and booby traps. We

00:00:49.899 --> 00:00:54.167
blowing up caves. Have you done
anything recently that you'd like to tell

00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:58.597
us about the day before yesterday? We
cleared about four miles of road so

00:00:58.630 --> 00:01:01.936
that they could evacuate the wounded
and haul supplies to the front lines

00:01:01.969 --> 00:01:05.557
? That's an important job. How do you
how do you like your work, Reese?

00:01:05.590 --> 00:01:10.367
That's very interesting. But it's
rather touching. Yeah, it is kind of

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.126
touchy at times. But you're managing
to do a swell job, as are the other

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:18.167

for the government. Carpenter work.

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:27.876
You're working for the government now
too. Don't forget that. Uhh what

00:01:27.909 --> 00:01:30.997
what sort of work was that you were
doing? I was doing carpenter work with

building and No, I see. And you intend
to keep working for the government.

00:01:37.180 --> 00:01:41.107
Well, I was planning on going back and
taking up my trade again after the
