"We lived six men in a tent. The small concrete structure that you see beyond the tent and  closer than the planes was a water well. It had a small engine and the water came out of a three inch pipe at a very fast flow and it was here that we were able to have a shower.
There were times when the temperature was above 120 and the humidity about 2 percent. You could get under this force of water with your fatigues on and in less than five minutes you were dry."
