I had a bad hair while working at hill 468 in South Korea. (All the hills were numbered in Korea.)

It was very foggy. I couldn’t even see the gate. I stayed inside the hut.

Then I started hearing something where the equipment was kept. I opened the door to look, but the fog was too thick to see anything. Even with me opening the door the noises continued.

Then it sounded like a gas container had been opened. I then knew what going on.

A slicky boy (thief) Was stealing gas. Gas brought in big bucks on the black market.

I couldn’t take it anymore. I picked up my M-1 rifle and shot twice in the air. The noises stopped immediately. I could hear someone running.

The next day after the fog went away, I walked out to the gate area. In the rolling barbed wire I found a shoe with blood on it. Nothing else was there.

How that guy got through that wire I do not know even today.

I had a sorta funny thing happen to me as I traveled to Ft. Devens Mass. My buddy and I were supposed to get off at Worchester. We listened carefully to the conductors naming of the next stop.

Soon he stated, “Next stop Wooster! ” We sat back thinking it was the wrong stop. Then as we pulled out we saw the sign that named the stop. It said Worchester. The conductor was speaking is the east coast language.

We got off at the next stop and my buddies relatives came and got us.
