Meanwhile, Overseas...
The War Front
You are a serviceman who has been fighting in North West Europe for close to a year. The date is May 4th, 1945, and you realize the end is near. Then the news arrives at last.
A cease fire will be imposed tomorrow morning at 800 hours. No more fighting! No more Death! This information has been received in a telex which is in the hands of Signals Officer Harold Van Wyck. How would you feel?
