April 28 left Oster for Brunswick to drive on a messenger run for 9th Army Headquarters. This was a very dangerous job as we traveled nights over roads we didn't know. There was always a chance of running into a pocket that hadn't been cleared. Hit a wire that was stretched across road in a wooded area one night. Lost no time in getting out after the center broke off.
