             Harry Colenutt recants the dangers of crossing the Atlantic were often as immediate as combat in Europe. Soldiers were at the mercy of their machines more so then at the mercy of the enemy which is shown when Colenutt describes troop transport ship on which he was riding with 3,500 nearly capsized.

            Colonutt casually describes the randomness of war through how shelling were more aimed at general locations then specific targets, and how the likeliness of death did not often depend on training but the luck of the lottery as a soldier lived day to day praying to be in the right place at the right time.
