In December, 1945, my uncle, Col. Arthur Parker, was 30 miles behind the German lines, in charge of a support unit that contained cooks, truck drivers and the like, in a small town in Belgium.

Must have been commando cooks.

Brain freeze. I meant to write that Col. Parker's unit was "thirty miles behind the front," or "thirty miles away from the Germans," instead of what I actually wrote. Sorry about that. I gather most readers read what I meant to say instead of what I did say.

I thoght the war was over in Europe of Dec 1945.

The only thing he had to fight off was the Frauliens.
