Major and Mrs. Ht T Marsh recount three years in Germany with a trusted maid named Margaret who traveled with them to Heidelberg. To move her at government expense was prohibited, so Marsh paid about 40 dollars monthly to keep the household running. The couple describe life in occupied Germany, including housing, food supplies, and the morale services that supported troops, before returning to the United States in December.
