Alamo Scouts

Recently I had a phone call from a retired army officer who is compiling an oral history of soldiers who had served in the Alamo Scouts in the South Pacific in WWll. I had been the medical officer for the Scouts from January through March 1945.
He happened to mention that an officer had been given the "mushroom treatment." He explained, "That means that he is kept in the dark and fed a lot of shit."
