E, A, ‘‘Betty’’ Hughes, who is serving a4 a nursing sister with the American: Army im Italy, has written her mother, Mrs. J, C, Hughes, the following interesting letter of a trip to Rome. Lient. Hughes has bes rn with the Americgn forces in the Mediterranean for a year, 28th July, 1944, Dear Mom:— ‘““‘Now to tell you of our trip to Rome, We left after we got off duty and after a long trip reached there at dark, We were up bright and early the next morning (Tues, had our breakfast at the Red Cross Club, and planned our campaign. “First we went to see the Colis- cum.-The guide told us the story of it and showed us where the Christians they. kept were kept and where their wild beasts, ete. It was all sa interesting after hear- ing of it in Anciem “History and Latin, I never dreamed in those days that I would ever see it, bought large photos of it and took some ourselves, From where we went to see the graves of Shelley and Keats and going to gm to St. Vaul’s but didn’t have enough time < were before we were due at St. Peter's to see the Pope. “We got there about 12,15 and the Pope makes his appearance at 12,30. I was right on the front row, but first T must tell about going in, Where Vatican City begina there hus been 4 wooden fence erected, li peacetime there is just a white line. There are American and Ital- ian guards and a sign that reads: “You are now entering into the neutral territory of the Vatican. No military vehicles or firearms allow- ed.” Xow go into the entrance hall of the rapal palace, There, are the famous Swiss guurds in their knee breeches, three-quarter lemgth coats and tams, ** You ‘have to climb” up plenty of steps and then you are in one of’ the halls. The walks are very ecorative and the mosaic pictures ou the walls look like real ils. Finally you reach the throne room. There is a narrow aisle down the centre and GI's crammed on either side, There is a place up front for officers. Being short everyone mov- ed me = to the front after 15 minutes, which aohased like an hout, the Pope came in, He was carried by four men on a red plush chair, with gold trim- mings, When they reached the altar he got ou: and went tu the throne. There he spoke in English and French. S “It was really a sight to be seen. People of every colour and creed, French, English, Ame tieans, Hindus, Negros, representatives from all the British Colonies, “After he finishgil spaiking he came down and shook hands with the peoples We had hought some rosiries before going into the church and they were: blessed bye the Pope. 4 i ; “When ghe eer not y Wus OVC! we went into St, Peter's, You enn: nat ever imupine h¢ tiful that Peter is gorgeous round —it a bronze, ~ copies ‘ot those in th emple of Solomon in Jerusalem. w huge or beau- place is, T The one that they were copied from was brought from Jeru- salem anil is there in an iron eas- ing. There is the iron statue of St Peter that used to be a more or less Mocea for the pilgrims 4na where they have kissed the feet, the toes are worn donvn. Here also the pictures are elaborate mosaic The letters in the dome are 6 feet high and look only a few inches high when you are looking at them, Around the walks are the statues of the Popes throughowt fhe ages. “When we left St. Peter's it was raining so we waited outside in the eourtyard umler the pillars. By the time we got to our car the Italian children had put their hands down the back seat and stolen everything they gould drag through from the trunk, Tt was tom late to eat in a GT, mess so we went to an Ttalian eafe—and ate spaet, potatoes and very tough steak.
