Shat is bad enough Hw our sleept gunners: but 1 should some of. them turn over and go to sleep again, they are sure to bo awakened by the cry of "feet on the Floor B Troop", or the desra j enquiry of "Anyone for Sick Parade"? The other five occupants* of’"Sleepy noj-ler" all too frequently land t\e job of "Hollering" this out. They a~c bgtso Jim Vivian, Bill Bridger, Jack Rolfe, Jerry Gibb» The,? first three' are immensely popular with their various gun crews, while the last mentioned is an instrumentalist of note.
