Before leaving France 750,000 doughboys contributed enough to support
3,444 French war orphans for one year, and the "Stars and Stripes"
newspaper left nearly three million francs toward their education

Annamites--French colonial troops from Indo-China. These paid Colonials
were used as attacking troops, as laborers on roads and as drivers of
light trucks.

The Loot is getting wabbly,
With his dinky little pack,--
He can hear the sergeant cussing
But he doesn't dare look back.
But we ain't saying nothing
Since we got the order "route,"
Too dog-dead for even wond'ring
If we'll ever hear "fall out."
My damn rifle and my helmet
Keep on getting in the way,
And my brains are numb and dopey
Try'n' to cuss and try'n' to pray.
