SOLDIER'S UTOPIA IN ENGLAND:
GI's Live in Luxury Hotels for 20 Cents a Day;
Resort City Is Playground for Home-Bound Yanks
By K ENNETH L. DIXON
Associated Press Correspondent
IOURNEMOUTH, Eng.-Here is a
soldiers' Utopia where GI's live in $10
a day luxury hotels for 20 cents a
night.
They play and swim on seven miles
of sandy English Channel beach, stay
out all night if they wish and sleep
as late as they like. Waffle break-
fasts are served until 11 a.m. Military
police are scarce and the only rules
are: "Remember, you are a visitor--
and a gentleman."
Playgrnund for GI's
Since V-E Day this famous English
Riviera resort city of 116,000 on the
southeast coast has become a play-
ground for American troops waiting
for transportation bacl to the United
States and a leave center for those
still on duty in England, France and
Germany.
Many of the guests are liberated
prisoners of war who are regaining
weight and are getting a chance to
play on Army time before returning
home.
Red Cross Open
With the cooperation and backing
of the Army, the American Red Cross
has taken over 12 of the largest.
most luxurious hotels on the high,
picturesque cliffs overlooking the
sea. They are run as private clubs
for all ranks but the only thing mili-
tary about the place is the uniforms.
It is the closest thing to civilian
life that it is possible to find in the
Army. That is what the soldiers like
about it, says Pvt. James Gilmour,
(506 North Fairhill Street) Philadel-
phia, Pa., airborne infantryman who
landed in Normandy on D-Day.
Army Forgotten
"It is a beautiful place and a good
spot to come to forget about the
Army," adds Sgt. Sylvester Scrocco
who was wounded at Aachen. Sgt.
Jack Massena, North Tarrytown,
N.Y., winner of the silver star and
wounded five times, readily agrees.
When asked what he likes about
the resort, Pvt. Leonard . Szczesny,
Natrona Heights, Pa., replies quickly,
"the beach and the girls."
Bournemouth is supposed to have
more beautiful women per capita
than any other city in England.
There are no non-fraternization
rules but there is a lot of competi-
tioe between the American and Ca-
nadian soldiers as Bournemouth has
long been a big Royal Canadian Air
Force base.
Entertainment Supplied
Besides swimming, the entertain-
ment includes yachting, tennis, golf,
free movies, horseback riding, steam-
er excursions to the Isle of Wight and
visits to many historic places includ-
ing Hurst castle built by Henry VIII. have special permission to stay ope
Many swank restaurants and dance until midnight. The only soft drink
palaces beckon to the soldier trade. are served at Red Cross hotels,
Alcoholic drinks are rationed strict- Officers Pay More
ly although a few cocktail lounges GI's fare better than officers. Th
