weeks in which he did much to
alleviate the aches and pains of
campers, and incidentally earned
for himseif t n inn er of Aleut
Badges for Scout advancement.
The week of July Kith through
21st, Scouts from all three Cher
ryville troops were in camp. Troop
1 had as its . leaders the Scout
master, Rev. \\. Luther Hawkins
and the assistant Scoutmaster
John McGinnis. Troop two, whose
Scoutmaster, Harry Allen, Ur.,
was on the camp staff, was led by
Howard Allran who had two boys
in the troop. 3 was ed by Kev.
J.W. McLain, Scoutmaster. That
week made history, in that it was
the first week in which devot
ional services were held each morn
ing before breakfast. It is the
custom of the cpmp to have de
votional services on Tuesday morn
ing, but three pastors, Kev. VV.

PENINSULAR BASE HEAD
QUARTERS, LEGHORN, Italy—
Pfc. James L. Alexander, son of
Mrs. Sallie Alexander, Cherry
ville, North Carolina is now serv

tration Company, one of the out
standing operation, units in the
61st Quartermaster Base Depot,
an imporant part of the Peninsu
lar Base Section, service and sup
ply organization for the Victor
ious Fifth Army and ground for-i
ces of the U. S. Air Corps and j
Navy in the Mediterranean Thea
ter of Operations. 1
For notah(e achievement and
superior performance of duty, the
3044th Graves Resgistran >.i Com
pany was recently awarded the
Meritorious Service Unit Plaque.
In a special ceremony, presentat

mandii\g Officer of the 61st Quar
termaster Base Depot.
The 3044th Graves Registra
tion Company was activated in
March of 1943 at Oran, North
Africa. The company was form
ed from a small group of enlisted
men who took over operations ot
the Oran Military Cemetery, im
mediately after the invasion of
North Africa. None of the group
had received prior training in
graves registration in the United
States. Several months were spent
in forming the company, in train
ing and orienting men in the mis
sion to be pertormed. Operations
in Algeria, Tunisia, and Sicily
were confined for the most part
in Maintenance, beautification,
and the concentration of a few |
small cemeteries. Other than that i
experience gaind in searching for!
several isolated graves, the Com-|
pany personnel had very little
tactical training in the problems
of battlefield burials which lay
ahead of them. Late in June of
1944 the company moved to Italy
and was divided int-i platoons to
c.ury on the program of recover
ing the remains of those who met
thc.r end in one of the bitterest
and bloodiest battles of the Medi
terranean campaign.
On many occasions, the bodies
had been stripped of ordinary
means of affecting identification,
butt the alertness, initiat.iv.j, and
ceaseless attention to duty of the
N.C.O.’s in charge of he evacua
ting details, kept the number of
Unknowns to an extremely low
percentage. Every care was tak
en to preserve the tiniest of clues
