October 26 left Valkenbourg Castle [Netherlands] for Tongeren, Belgium where we set up our lofts behind a big mansion. Also joined 4th Sig Bat. Co. "A" here and traveled throughout the war with them. Buzz bombs are coming over every 20 minutes here. Can see them very closely as large tongues of flame trail the bomb. They are flying to Liege and London. Some don't make and land along the route. They sure raise hell when they hit as everything shakes. At night they sound like they are going to come right through our tent. Some hit fairly close.
Had one come down on road a block behind us as were traveling to Valkenburg.
Today's highlight caught our boy Gandy "Porkhead" stealing candy out of our 10-1 rations. Kelly and I saw him do this.
[Tongeren, Limburg, Flemish Region, Belgium: In March 2011, Erik Honée, Maastricht (NL), emailed that Tongeren is located some 15 km west from Maastricht whilst Valkenburg some 7km east from Maastricht.]
