Mrs. Smuda's son. The man with the gun. It's Private Edwin Smuda at army camp "somewhere in the South." In addition to being a prize fighting man, one of Private Smuda's claims to fame is his widowed, fifty-five-year-old mother who works six days a week in the Frankford, Pennsylvania arsenal tapering cartridges for 50mm machine gun shells. Mrs. Smuda is one of that great army of American women who work just as hard for victory as their sons on the front lines
