A bunch of the people there,
you don’t even think about anything, you know,
you just get on board a ship there but we
were being ack-ack and they allotted us
to look for enemy on the ship and
front and back they had the crow’s nest and
they were stuck right outside and
it was very cold there, very cold.
I got sick there so they put me
down in sick bay way down in the bottom and
I was there for about five or six days I think and
then of course that was the end of my
sentry duty might say, ya. I was sick,
I’ll admit it, I’m not going to lie about it,
you know, in other words
I wasn’t the only guy that was sick.
It was bad, ya.
And we went on board a Polish ship and
I guess we had mutton for breakfast,
mutton for lunch and mutton for dinner
because I guess that was the cheapest
meat you could have.
It was generally mostly stew because
if it was a roast, too much time involved.
