STROLLING ALONG - LETTERS SENT HOME BY E. H. "TEX" BARTON

While working as a news reporter I often headed my feature stories as "Strolling Along" followed by sub titles as appropriate.  When I was a member of Service Company, 508th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, I used the same heading when writing "letters" home.  I used "Tex" as part of my name because most of the troopers who knew me called me "Tex".

I know these articles and drawings will be of little or no interest to anyone except maybe some of us who were "over there".

I dedicate this "booklet" to the memory of those who didn't return.
