1:14:01
We hadn't had
much trouble from the air.
1:14:08
I was on the rise...
1:14:10
with the quartermaster,
1:14:13
workin' on more coffee
for me and my buddies.
1:14:19

1:15:43
And I'd sit... forever.
1:15:46
It's an amazing thing what you
can see while you're sittin'.
1:15:51

radio guys or artillery spotter.
1:15:59
Sometime I'd spot
a gun nest by the smoke
