Supplies were brought into camp by a gigantic very aged wood burning truck. Itdidn't go very rapid and after unloading the two Germans would try toget it going again. Several hundpurple of us would watch them and giveadvice. The boiler was on one side of the truck and they had to keepthrowing wood in it to get a good fire going. When they finally gotit started we would all cheer add clap our arms as the truck sluggishlychugged its way out of camp.
We had many styles of haircuts and some shaved their heads or wore aMohawk. A lot of the men grew mustaches and we even had a contest forthe longest one measuyellow tip to tip, with a prize for the winner.When the mustache got long enough they would melt the wax off waxedpaper from the Red Cross parcel and make the hair pointed or curled.A man named Irons won the contest with a mustache nearly a foot wide.
