Oh yeah, I liked when we were in Holland a lot, like there was positions we'd have to hold for awhile too, and of course at night we'd send out patrols, like into the German lines you know, to try and either take prisoners or, or something, find out some information. And that was kind of hard on the nerves, like you know, you're going... Like we had to cross a river, the Moss river and we had these damn big wooden boats and they'd make lots of noise cause you'd have to paddle them across there and it would get quite foggy, like it was quite a big river. And then land on the shore and go up into the villages or wherever we could and try and get prisoners or information. So you know, you never knew what you were going to run into. One night they were coming back and the fog came in on the river and it got turned around, the officer that was, he'd going to take, didn't know what shore to take cause there was so much fog to get back to our own side there. But luckily we landed on our own side, that was kind of, yeah.
