Relief
I was scared of the front after that day. Every one of us was. Even Capt., he had the machine gunner next to him blown to bits by a grenade. I think back on that day thinking that I was lucky to survive. No, scratch that, VERY lucky to survive. At the mess we told out story to some of the veteran troops. They just laughed and told us their worst. I didn't even know that some of those things happened. It's almost December. Hopefully the Christmas spirit will make us all a lot happier.
