"Ski Lodge For First, 232d"

"High up in the mountains of Saalbach, just a few kilometers from the French zone, First Battalion of the 232d Infantry has opened the finest ski-lodge in the Zell am See district. Pfc. Robert Rees of the Battalion Special Services is the proprietor of the exclusive resort. The lodge is what most GIs would call paradise. There are civilian cooks and chambermaids to keep all the guests from doing a lick of personal work. Each room has hot and cold running water, and the largest of them has only two occupants."

Rainbow Reveille, newspaper of the Rainbow Division in Austria, March 2, 1946.
