A CHANGE FROM “C” RATIONS
ITALY—G.I.’s fighting in the Anzio-Nettuno beachhead area get a little weary of “C” rations so a group of them purchased a young bull from an Italian farmer to provide a change of diet. After killing and dressing the animal, three soldiers load the welcome beef into a trailer headed for a mess kitchen.
