I was tasked with this mission at 1715 on
Saturday by German 3rd XO Joe “Guice”
Girardi. He and 1st XO Mike Conklin “RTM
Mike” decoded a secret message from the
French, through leaflets, artwork, and other
clues scattered throughout the field, and

sometimes even handed to us by the French
themselves. The mission was to meet the
French between Dubs’ Bridge (German
General) and Frack’s Bridge (Allied General) in
order to secure a bomb. The bomb was then
to be used to blow up the opposing General’s
bridge. The bomb had a 10 minute timer, so
once the bomb was placed, it had to be held
for 10 minutes in order to “explode.” The
bomb was “dropped” by the French at 1900.
There was another objective at 1830 at Dubs’
bridge, so the plan was to arrive at 1800 and
hold the area for the entire duration.
