With
the
British
1st
Army
on
the
Tunisian
Front
I
am
writing
these
words
amid
the
muck
and
mire
of
Tunisia
and
I
can
hear
the
sounds
of
battle
on
a
range
of
hills
down
a
valley
to
the
east.
But
neither
I,
nor
our

nor
our
men,
'could
'be
herevat
"all
vere
it
hot
for
the
great
work
that
has
been
done
in
the
factories
of
North
America.
This
campaign,
more
than
any
other
I
have
seen
in
this
war,
depends
on
motor
transport
for
its
success.
The
enemy
knows
this.
Daily
they
try
to
search
our
roads
with
their
fighters,
shooting
up
isolated
vehicles
as
well
as
convoys.
Nothing
is
too
small
for
their
attention.
We
are
living
in
a
world
without
railroads
here,
a
world
of
twisting
mountain
roads'
that
rise
thousands
of
feet
into
the
clouds:
By
day
and
night
the
latter
without
lights
of
any
kind
the
allied
forces
move
forward
along
these
roads
in
trucks
that
you
supply.
Without
them
we
would

still
far
back,
some
500
miles,
in

neighborhood
of

As
it
is,
our
goals
are
in
sight
andTrom
here
I
can
see
a
bare
mountain
that
rises
just
this
side
of
Tunis.
One
of
the
many
splendid
thinr.s
about
this
allied
campaign
is
the
way
in
which
our
transport
has
withstood
some
of
the
most
difficult
conditions
I
have
ever
known.
