High Pointers In Trinidad Report Conditions Improve
A large delegation of High Pointers serving in Trinidad sends a letter to The Enterprise claiming conditions here are far from the dire warnings. They mock vampire bat sightings and dust storms, note rains are light, and report having ice boxes and occasional fresh meat. They describe two 6 hour work shifts, off duty 10:30 to 2:30, and praise battalion officers led by Lieut Col Ralph Lewis of Greensboro. The letter lists many High Pointers from various units and looks ahead to September with anticipation.
