THE MILL WHISTLE
Five
ON THE JOB
FOR UNCLE SAM
A Corner For Our Boys in the
Armed Forces.
Seaman Tommy Nelson, of Draper,
who writes that he is getting along fine
and likes the Navy. Tommy is a mem
ber of the crew of one of our crack
battleships and you can get his address
by writing us. Good luck, sailor.
Pfc. Sherman Almond, Pfc. James
Almond, and Pfc. Roy Riddle, upper
right. Shermon, better known as Toby,
and James, who is called Buzz by his
friends, are sons of Mr. and Mrs. Berk
ley Almond, of Spray, and Pvt. Riddle
is a brother of Mrs. Almond. Toby, in
service for two years, is with an engi
neering division in India; Buzz in ser
vice almost one year, is now located at
Dyersburg, Tenn. The whereabouts of
Roy are unknown.
Billy D. Rickman, S 2/C, son of Mrs.
Emma Rickman, has been in service
about six months, and was formerly
employed at Karastan Mill. He’s fin
ished his boot training at Bainbridge
and is now on duty somewhere on the
seas. Has two brothers in the Navy,
Herman and James.
Pfc. Lawson Talbott as he looks on
his overseas job today. Few of his
hundreds of friends will recognize
“Lawson” so we’ll call him by a name
you will remember—“Choke” Talbott,
and you’d know him better in a base
ball or basketball uniform, wouldn’t
you?.
Say, fellows, how about dropping
us a card giving your present ad
dress? We’re getting back an awful
lot of Mill Whisiles with the words
“A.P.O. Discontinued” stamped on
the envelope. Maybe your present
A.P.O. has been discontinued and
we’d like to have your newest one.
Thanks.
