Lewis, who was for several years employed by the Vann-Moore Mills of Franklinton. Lewis said he was wounded in his wrist by flak at the time his plane was shot down.

The overseas service may be obtained by filing messages at any Red Cross chapter, or by sending them direct to Marine Corps Headquarters, Washington. It was stressed, however, that mes sages must be confined .to mat ters of a definite emergency na ture. For example, sfiould the moth er or sister of mUlarine "Who Is overseas become! dangerously 111, the .family might ??dvlRe tije Ma rine of her state By" fllirtg a mes sage to him with the Red Cross or with Marine Corps .Headquar ters at Washington.
