In the October 1945 issue of True, Staff Sergeant George Ammerman drily asks what happens when American armed forces find themselves stationed in remote corners of the world lacking appropriate alcohol provisions. It turns out the American soldier is capable of great resourcefulness in addressing such a critical shortage, no doubt putting the soldiers of other nations to shame. Syd Hoff provides two thirst-quenching illustrations.
