GREAT WORK IN TERRIBLE CONDITIONS FIGHTING IN PACIFIC “The medical boys arc a great crowd. Here they are working in terrible conditions but they just keep on going,” states Sergeant E. J. Carle of Masterton in a recent letter from an advance post in the Pacific. He added that right from the start they were in the thick of it and on a beach landing there are no “stay-behinds.” All had the greatest respect for them and the work they were doing. At the time of writing Sergeant Carle was in hospital. He stated that there was water and mud everywhere. There was even a stream of water through his tent, which made the floor a sea of mud. A terrific tropical thunderstorm was experienced, following on three days and nights of steady downpour.
