The Quartermaster provided food, clothes, shoes, mosquito nets, parkas, washing machines, tools, trucks, tires and toilet paper – you name it and they supplied it. Colonel Johnson, 93rd commander, wanted a Post Exchange at each of the company headquarters. He appointed Lt. Donald Schmitt 93rd regimental PX Officer, because Schmitt had taken bookkeeping in high school. Schmitt ran seven PX’s spread over 400 miles of the Highway. Capt. George Egge, “Smitty’s” boss, had an even bigger job. Egge was in charge of ordering and delivering materiel to seven full companies spread out along the highway.
