Infantry
units of the
United States Army training in Ulster will be as familiar with
German Army weapons and their uses as they are with their own when
the invasion of Europe begins.
To insure this fact, courses of
instruction now are in progress which are designated not only
to teach the men how to turn abandoned weapons on their
former owners but to impress as well the marked superiority
of American arms and equipment.
Among the men who have recently completed a course in familiarization
with these weapons is S/Sgt. Leslie C. McAllan, 25, of Mountain.
