text: In August 1945, I boarded the SS Charles W. Wooster, and I has heading for Greece-with a cargo of 335 horses plus enough hay and oats to feed them. When I arrived in Greece I was 18, which meant I could be drafted for military service. When my draft board learned that I was on a cattle-boat trip, they told me to just keep doing that for my service. By the time I was discharfed in 1947, I had made nine trips-the most of any Seagoing Cowboy.
