Tough Going in Trinidad From A Coast Artillery Crew
Sergt W R Perry writes from Trinidad where 2nd Battalion 25200 Coast Artillery crews endure harsh living conditions. He defends soldiers against criticism, notes they built roads and ditches while training was limited to firing drills, and emphasizes their readiness to “take” hardship. He highlights Pitch Lake and local work details, and underscores pride in service despite rough conditions.
