MERRILL'S MARAUDERS T/SGT McGUIRE"S DIARY PAGE#12

T/Sgt. James F. McGuire Closing
Headed for hospital now and a good rest and good food. Went to 14th evac. Took shower, burnned all old clothes, put on pajamas, they really feel funny. I have sheets to sleep on. This is all new to me, the first time I've had it this easy in over three years. So this ends my going into Burma and coming out. I just hope I never have to go in again
