I never knew of anybody that got sick. Really, I never knew of anybody. I couldn’t eat the black bread for some reason or other. Not that I didn’t like it but I would get it in my mouth and I’d get a bunch of saliva build up so I used to give it away and they’d give me a potato or something for it. You know another thing. Everybody was hungry to an extent, we had our Red Cross parcels. I never heard of anyone getting anything stole out of their parcel. You know, you’d think somebody was going to, I never heard of anybody. It’s funny how they, it was a different group of people or different training or whatever done it I don’t know, maybe it’s good training in the army eh? And I never did but a lot of people used to get soap, carbolic soap and then they’d get chocolate in there and the soap flavour would go into the chocolate. That was a sad thing. And the Stettler ladies, they used to send us a box of cigars, ya Benson & Hedges cigars.
