The army puts out a small newspaper for us called the Stars & Stripes. See by it that they are broadcasting quite a few American programs to the force over here. Most a them come on early in the morning and I'm never up at that time to hear them. There's a English orchestra over here that is really good. Geraldo I believe is the name. Its the only one I really like to listen to, and then when they play some a those dreaming American songs why I begin to wish I was back there. I was in Belfast a couple a weeks ago for a weekend. Its quite some city. Really isn't a whole lot going on there though. The dance hall are so crowded a person can hardly move around and then they don't have any shows on Sundays or Sunday Evenings. None a the towns around here have that. We were on a parade in one a the towns here a week or so ago. First time in the history a the town any American had every paraded there. These Yankees as we are called are a sight so common any
