New Clothes for the Homecoming

They got us all together, I can’t remember the place now, to a depot and they fitted us all out with civilian clothes. They let us keep our military clothes, our uniforms and such things like that, but we all went in for a fitting of a suit and shoes and socks and shirt and things, whatever you put your back. I remember having a picture taken with it when I came home, I tell you, I had a hat and this striped suit. Gosh I’d never wear it today. It looks so funny to me today, you know. But that’s what they gave us. Whatever, whatever they had I suppose on hand. They just dished it out whatever size you had. It didn’t matter whether you wore a 40 or you wore a 50 they gave it to you. I wasn’t long discarding my uniform when I got home, I’ll put it to you that way. We kept our uniform and all our military clothes on until we got back home.
