operations & G. I. building. Wish I had one of these barracks for a hen house when they are thru with them, they would really make good ones about 18 x 80 made of insulation board and good cement floors in them. The way they put floors in out here may be okay I dont know. They did a trench approximately 18" below the ground and extend it about a foot above ground. and fill in the space above ground with about eight inches of coarse gravel and then pour the concrete floor inside the wall. Expect it would stand the frost in good shape. Just had to stop my writing and go out and get the area surrounding the hangar policed up as they expect an inspection around here soon. I believe there are more air cargo inspectors than soldiers on the fighting front. Makes lots of difference whether there are a few cigarette butts around I guess whether the germans are whipped or not. Guess Ill have to stop, no news. Love Johnny
