RV Burgin: I met her in Australia in 1943. I guess I immediately fell in love with her.

"
Right at the end of the war, I had my name pulled out of a hat to come home early on furlough. Four of us won, one from each company: Headquarters, Dog, Fox, and Easy. As we traveled down the road in the back of this truck, this drunk GI came around the corner at us and crashed into us. I flew out and broke my pelvis and my wrist.
They shot my full of morphine at the wreck site. The next thing I knew I woke up in the field hospital and a nurse was taking my clothes off. I opened my eyes for a few seconds. I saw her take off my boots. When she got to my pants (I had bloused them with condoms, like we always did), she jumped back and gave out a big great squeal. That’s all I remember before I went back under.
