I've found several Pyle columns on the web but not this one. Can anyone help? TIA.

Yes, I had come across the Private Art website - but not the other one you give the link to (thanks)- unfortunately it doesn't contain the "right" article.
I think I may have to buy/borrow/beg myself an Ernie Pyle collection, as I'm quite interested now in what else he wrote, and hope the column I need is in there.
This is what I love about "general" translating (in this case a series of articles on D-day and surrounding events): getting into ... See more
