Memories of Service 4 - Steve Danes
Web (Full Length Episode) – 2017
I just got to Cassino and I passed out. I got pneumonia and I was one of the fortunate ones — I missed Cassino.– Steve Danes
Jerry used to come in with a white cloak on the snow, and we saw this thing moving against this hedge line … we watched and it moved and moved... so I gave it a burst and a cloud of feathers went up!– Steve Danes
The Poms brought these searchlights in and then shone them on the clouds and they reflected down. Of course Jerry was looking into it. Gee we bumped off a few Jerrys there.– Steve Danes
