Recall Zigzag As a couple of shoeshine boys perspired over his heavy combat boots, Sgt. John E. Green of 7 N. Colorado st, mused reflectively: “They'll never get these brogans cleaned. That Luzon mud is caked harder than Brown county clay.” Most of the Cyclone division veterans agreed the battle of Zigzag pass on Bataan was their toughest. - Generally, the 38th didn't celebrate V-J day in style, Cpl. Richard Farrington of 345 Lincoln st. con-
In a more domestic mood, Pvt. Charles Fuller of 644 8S. Cole st. happily anticipated his first meeting with his 19-months-old son, born shortly after he went overseas.

ought to see what they got: in Manila. “Nothing. Absolutely nothing.” x
From a temperature standpoint, Indiana gave its 38th fighters a cool reception. But they loved it. Arriving in three trains, they even loved the railroad conductors who solemnly informed them they were crossing the state line yesterday morning. Cheers resounded throughout all the trains at this announcement. One conductor-told the thrilled vet~
: |erans that he, himself, served in the
38th in the first world war, They cheered him, too. Some of the more impulsive returnees hopped off the trains at Terre Haute to kiss the Hoosler soil. Month-Long Journey It had been a month-long journey. They left Manila Sept. 2. After a 24-hour stopover at Camp Stoneman, Cal, on Sept. 26, they boarded Pullmans for home. On one of the coaches was scrawled: “Yes, this trip is necessary.” The first train, bearing some 600 Cyclone division men, chugged into Atterbury shortly before noon yesterday. .Two more followed, one at 2:15, another at 4:30 p. m. In the days to come, more will follow, bringing back 10,000 more Indiana soldiers who fought under the 38th’s combat-scarred banner,
No Fanfare The entry here of the division's first dischargee vanguard stunned Camp Atterbury officials and many friends and relatives. The srmy had the advance contingent con=-
fused with straggling elements of the 37th (Ohio) division. So the home-coming was without fanfare, But the spine-tingling joy over
venereal rate around oe is very high. Be careful.” A third speaker, a leutenant, rolled ‘em in the aisles. He nonchalantly asked these seasoned campaigners—most of them had nearly 100 points—if they wouldn't like to re-enlist. : “When you receive your discharge pay and money, there'll be somebody there ready to take you,” droned the lieutenant. He referred, of course, to recruiting officers. The men thought otherwise. —

sun, blood red, was already low on the horizon. A few wispy clouds|g were strung out like delicatelywrought lace against a deep blue sky. Remnants of the day's final
Cyclone contingent, their consti-|g
tutions still tempered to tropic heat, stood shivering on the plat-
form. Pvt. Ralph Walton of 2522% Olney st. watched the sky and remembering perhaps the times when he thought he'd never see the sky over Indiana again, recalled he had luckily escaped death just before V-J day. A Nip mortar shell plopped into a wet ditch where he was laying communications wire. But it didn’t go off. “Yeah,” said Pfc. Noel of 1321 Oliver ave, “they had enemy pillboxes - buried in Zigzag pass every 10 feet . . . It was rugged. We're glad to get back; but a lot of good boys won't get back.” Then flapping his arms in a warm-up gesture, he said thoughtfully: “We've been waiting for this minute. Sometimes one minute over there was like seven years , , Well, it's too cold now, but it’s

Said Cpl. Bill Purdue of 560 Lyndhurst dr.: “The trip was too much of a strain after the war letdown. , , . We were "too long coming.” The men leaped nimbly from the coaches, barracks bags hoisted over their shoulders. They strode double-file to a large warehouse room on the loading platform. There, they were officially greeted by Brig. Gen. Ernest Bixby, Atterbury commanding officer, Suffering from effects of a sore throat, the general prefaced his remarks with: “I hope you'll pardon the hoarseness men, but I've lost my voice bawling out second lleutenants.” It went over big. The fidgety troops guffawed. . “Welcome to Camp Atterbury,” | continued Gen. Bixby, “but I hope you won't be here long. By Thursday or Friday you should be eating as civilians in your homes. I wish you every happiness for the future, good luck and God bless you.” His speech was roundly applauded. Then came comic relief. A medical officer mounted the rostrum to poll the veterans on any tropical diseases prevalent among them. In reading off the list of ailments, he uttered some of the most tonguetwisting words found in any medical dictionary. The medico received little but laughs ‘till he came to malaria. That was one they recognized. Hands shot up all over the room. | “In conciusion, let me warn you,” sald the medical officer “the|
