A G-I VIEW OF NOME <

- ■ ' =S
By Corporal Walter D. Starnes 1
It was quite an eventful day
. . . that one when the boys in
the armed forces arrived in
Nome. Here was a strange new
land . . one which all of us had
read of and also gazed wide-eyed
at the pictures we used to see,
but to actually be here, well . . .
it gave one a rather peculiar
feeling. How would we like it?
What about those terrific win
ters of which we had heard so
much about? And then it began
to unfold itself to us in its true
form. As for the people, well
they were just about as much
bewildered as us. To them It
meant just as much of a change
in living as it did to u*. Instead
of the quiet Sundays to which
they had become accustomed,
the streets were now humming
with khaki-hued activity. It was
first a sort of confusion and then
; it simmered down to routine.
Then too, the people were friend
| ly . . . just like the people that
| we formerly knew on the towns
and hamlets back in the states
from which many of us came. We
made' friends and' they-opened
their homes to us. This made us
feel thait being in the army does
have its bright moments . . . and
combated homesickness too, from
which many of us were aaling at
first. All of this gave a warm
feeling which we can never for
get. And then came winter . .
mild ait first but growing in
tempo as each day went forward.
It was a hard one, true enough,
but not nearly so severe as we
had expected. We were sur
prised at ourselves by the way
we took it. Soon winter sports
such as staling and ice skating,
became as much a part of us as j
walking down to the corner drug
store for a chocolate soda. We
learned to fish and to hunt like ; <
the old timers and we had a , <
good time too. It is and has \ 4
been a wonderful experience . . .; i
one which our children and ^
grandchildren shall hear about
while perched upon our knee in
front of a roaring fireplace heap- *
ed high with burning embers.
But then our stay must some day «
come to an end, and when it
does, along with us will go fond <
memories of a land and people
that will linger always.
