Frost, John, Jr.
Frost laments the loss of Tom Cozens and Milton Phelps. He would like to "get my hands on the" (underlined space instead of swearwords) "who started this whole affair," to "click triggers on guns instead of cameras" in North Africa. He says American and British soldiers are welcome since the Germans and Italians "stripped the countryside and shops." Frost was declared missing in action on August 26, 1943 over Italy.
