I should have posted this V-Mail letter from New Guinea on Feb. 3, but I missed it. I think 2nd Batt., 128th Inf. is still in reserve in a rear area. I never read about front-line troops complaining about doing the laundry. My history of the 32nd Div. supports this since that battalion still hasnt been mentioned in connection with the Saidor campaign HJS.
