From Ernie Pyle's book, Brave Men, page 165.
"More than a year ago I wrote an item about the numerous uses we'd found for the brushless shaving cream issued to the front-line troops. Its virtues were legion. It was perfect for sun and windburn, nurses shampooed their hair in it, it soothed and softened chapped hands and cracked fingers. And there at Anzio the soldiers discovered that if they massaged their feet with it once a day, it went a long way toward preventing trench foot.
It's a shame somebody didn't shave with it once in a while."
Just thought I should share that with everybody
