WITH
OUR
ARMED
FORGES
More than 30 young men now
in the armed forces have worked
in the Bulletin office at some time
during their ’teen age after school
hours. The Bulletin hears from
them from time to time. Among
the first of these boys was Jim
Brock, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H.
Brock, who is now a sergeant with
lp2nd M. P. Co., in Casablanca,
North Africa, Apo. 789, care post
master, New York, N. Y.
Sgt. Brock writes, “I have been
reading the Bulletins sent to me
by my mother. In one of them I
noticed my brother (Marion
Brock) wrote to you that he had
been moving around a lot and
had met a number of people from
around home. He is lucky. I guess
I am one of the unfortunate ones
to meet a lot of people here from
North and South Carolina, but
none from around home. They al
ways turn out to be strangers.
“I have been in Casablanca to
Oran, to Algeria, Tunis, Bizerte;
then to Sicily, and to Naples in
Italy. I was within 50 miles of
my brother when I was in Italy
with the 5th Army, (34th Infan
try Division) until my luck ran
out. I was wounded before my
outfit reached Casino. I was three
miles from the town. They sent
me back to a hospital in North
Africa. After my recovery they put
me in the Military Police, and I
am now working in - different
places. Being in this country is
good experience. The people are
friendly and I get along swell, and
am having a lot of fun such as it
goes. Give my regards to all my
friends over there.
“Sgt. Jimmie Brock.”
Pfc. Lawrence A. Arledge of
the Marine Air Warning Sqdn.,
writes from the Pacific to the
Home Friendly club, “It is with
great pleasure that I write to the
many peQple of Polk who are giv
ing us proof that their interest
lies with us.” Proof by the many
letters received by the service men
and women from that, county; the
time and attention devoted ....
you are doing a swell job in boost
ing morale ... It gives one a
superior feeling to know that he
is missed by the people as a whole.
