{left side of postcard} Pfc. Arnold Smith 37677386 c/o P.M. N.Y. N.Y. I want to thank everyone who made it possible for me to receive the Scuttlebutt free {Written in the margins} Dear Dave Italy I receive your editions of Suttlebutt each week & enjoy reading then but haven't had much time to answer. I think I'll be home soon as I have about 18 months of actual combat with an infantry rifle company, I know I've been very lucky to survive all of the time. My outfit is at the Brener Pass. I am on a five day pass at the Italian Riviera about a four hundred mile drive. /Smithy {Right Side of Postcard} Army Postal Service AP.O.
