Terrible Dust
Being banged about in a lorry over rough military roads is not pleasure at the end of those journeys to the front one does not seem to have a muscle that does not ache. But it must be a great deal more comfortable than toiling with pick and shovel in the burning heat, while passing lorries make the air foul with the dust of Ethiopia. Yet one is always cheerily greeted by the road-makers who up to date have been doing more than anyone to win the war for Italy...
Whether they are labouring with picks, smashing rocks with hammers, manhandling, bould. ers and hurling them down pre- cipitous mountainsides—or whe ther they are simply pouring shovelful after shovelful of the soft, fine powder over the edge bof the roadside somehow they
can always find a 'smile.
