No letter from Max today so we don't know if and how he celebrated the occasion.
Any Mess Sergeant worth his salt would have a list of all the soldiers he fed and their birthdays. The troops could count on their big day always being noted with a big cake prepared for all the guys. Always a good morale booster. I wonder if the boys in Battery D of the 134th were so lucky. I hope so.
If Max and Lean tuned into the Burns and Allen Radio Show the evening of 17 February 1941 they would have heard Artie Shaw and his Orchestra playing "Deep River". Click the play button below to hear the broadcast.
