Smith Praises Courage and Ability of G. I. Joe Home from a tough job in Europe, Colonel Raymond E. Smith is full of praise for the officers and enlisted men who worked with him from early landings in Africa through the Sicily, Italian and German campaigns. "I've never had a bad soldier or a bad outfit," he said as he lauded their courage, their ability to do the job at hand and the high morale that they showed at all times. "It was never, 'what should I do,' but always 'what is there to do,'" he said in telling how the men of the supply and quartermaster corps worked around the clock day after day without rest or break in the monotony that dogs a soldier's life. Col. Smith is on 30 day leave from Torney General hospital at Palm Springs where he reported upon his recent arrival from Europe. He will report back on July 7 to await further orders. Over two-and-a-half years ago he landed in Africa and throughout the Tunesian campaign was quartermaster supply officer for the eastern base section. At Mateur he was supply and depot commander. After the German surrender in Africa he commanded general depot No. 6 which was the principal supply agency for all Tunisia and was the principal supply agency for the invasion of Italy and Sicily. His installations closely followed the Seventh army and when that army invaded southern France he was attached to it.
