Troops are leaving daily for their homes. The boys are all
active in getting everything squared up with one another before leaving for
their homes. We get passes to the city as often as we can, to buy things we want
before leaving the army for good. The boys are getting small photo gems taken
to exchange with one another; I have already received over sixty in exchange.
