Peter Koch, a Dutchman, was very particular but
nevertheless a right fine fellow in the unit.
He was from the mountains of Old
Tar Heelia and swore that in his home town they had three kinds of
water to wash your face with.
Often Peter would quote some
fellow named Karl Marx. Many of the boys said that this Marx fellow was
the same one who was killed by a gimp mule at the horseraces in
Raleigh. It took us several years to discover that it wasn't the same
one.
