The following World War II service list is restricted to those whose postal address was in the town of Manlius prior to V-J Day, September 2, 1945. Some of these people actually resided outside the town limits. Where this is known to occur, the residence follows the postal address in parentheses. A question mark precedes a name when original residence is unclear.

While it is true that others serving during World War II moved into the town after this date, they are not part of this collection, nor are most of the more than 900 graduates of The Manlius Military School who participated in the War.

As we do not consider this list complete, if you know a missing name, find incorrect data or want to add information, please contact us so that this record can be as accurate as possible.

We wish to thank Norma Jenner and Bob Kinsella of Minoa, Ella Dunn of Kirkville, Darothy DeAngelo of Oran, and numerous war veterans for their assistance with this project.

Anderson was a former resident of Manlius. / Although my address is Fort Monmouth, I am 17 miles from there, at Camp Edison. It is a small camp, on the coast, and everyone here is of the opinion that it is one of the country's nicest. I have attended school ever since I left Mayville and there is a lot more to come. It seems that I cannot get away from schools. Looking over the camps that I have been in, with the eyes of a member of the Service Club I have found answers to some of the points we used to discuss. The men are much more interested in mail than mess call, although food runs second. In my opinion the local news is the best service offered. Toilet articles, candy, gum, cigarettes, towels, etc., are always available at the PX at greatly reduced prices. Nearly every man eats more than he did in civilian life, and the mess does a good job of taking care of their needs. I imagine we have much more butter, meat, potatoes, ice cream, etc., than we would get at home but just before 'lights out,' nothing can take the place of home-made cookies and maple sugar. One of my former pupils is in the next barracks. Keep up the good work being done on the home front, as we enjoy and appreciate everything you are doing," The Eagle-Bulletin, 7/30/1943. "Mrs. J.

"Morning Mail / Dear Editor: I thought you might be interested in what we here in the Philippines receive in the way of an Army newspaper, also a bit on life in general here.* Your family is certainly well represented in the service--a splendid record to be envied by others. I have been in Manila since the first of May, assigned to the Engineer Depots of Base X (Manila). Over a third of a million American troops are in the Manila area. It is a Mecca for men on pass, who are stationed in the Philippines, a source of many replacement depots, various headquarters, general hospitals, etc. The harbor, with its 15 piers, is among the busiest in the world. Manila was once a luxurious, thriving metropolis of 600,000 - clean, spacious, gay, beautiful, and modern - the Pearl of the Orient, the gem of the Far East - Upholding the standard of Christian democracy in this part of the globe, lighting a torch for the more less-enlightened peoples of this part of the world to follow. It contained industry, commerce, a fine harbor, the Capitol of the Philippine Commonwealth Government, the residence of the American High Commissioner, etc. The three long, arduous years of Japanese occupation stripped the land and people, too, so that goods of all kinds--food, clothing, shelter, etc., are at a premium, the cause of a flourishing black market-sinister, yet cunning in its activity. A quarter of every ship's cargo unloaded on the docks winds up in the black market. This process has cost the American people over two billion dollars. The Military Police do their best, but the problem is immense. When we arrived, the last of the dead bodies, unexploded bombs and booby traps. etc., were being cleared out. Sewage, garbage filth flowed like wine in the streets. The roads were blocked with rubble or filled with gaping holes. There was no municipal power--bridges were blown out, etc. Men, women and children clothed themselves in rags--looked for bits to eat, etc. Now the situation is greatly improved--many roads have been repaired, thousands of tons of rubble have been cleared away, six bridges have been constructed over the Pasig River, which splits the city in half, approximately on an eat-west line. The city itself is situated on the east coast of Manila Bay, northeast of Corregidor, Bataan and the entrance to the bay. Food is becoming more plentiful, municipal power is available, the water system is functioning, etc. Prices are still exorbitant, however. For example: A poor banana split is two peso ($1 American), a good dinner is 8 or 10, etc. The law of supply and demand is here in force--a small supply, a large demand, consequently the trend toward inflation. The best of luck. A toast to the day when we shall be able to meet and converse together again. Sincerely, Lt. Kenneth R. Baldwin. *We received a copy of the Manila army newspaper. Also a photo of Ken, the photo was rather dark or we would have printed it in the Eagle-Bulletin," The Eagle-Bulletin, 12/7/1945. "Lt. Kenneth Baldwin has been transferred to Bay of Batangus, about 100 miles south of Manila. His work is Engineers Depot Operation--loading and unloading, supervising the sorting and segregating of imports from American and neighboring islands. Loads from ships come in on trucks, boxes must be stacked, junk must be declared salvage or be destroyed; what crates are needed, what shipments to different encampments--these are questions to be answered by the 733rd Engineers Depot Co. There are 500 Filipinos and 2,000 Japanese prisoners of war where Lt. Baldwin is stationed. Lt. Baldwin is second ranking officer in charge," The Eagle-Bulletin, 5/10/1946. "Word comes from the U. S. Government to Mr. and Mrs. Bert Baldwin of the promotion of their son Lt. Kenneth Baldwin, stationed at the Bay of Batangas in the Philippines, 100 miles south of Manila. The letter stated that Lt. Baldwin had been advanced to Administrative Officer in charge of the U. S. Army forces Western Pacific Engineers Supply Depot. He will supervise and direct, receive, check and store all supplies from America and neighboring islands, for which the depot is responsible," The Eagle-Bulletin, 8/23/1946. "Boy Scouts in this area may be interested in the work of one of their former scouts in the Philippines, Lt. Kenneth R. Baldwin has formed a troop of Filipino boys at the Bay of Batangas, the first troop ever formed in the Islands. Although hindered by lack of any experienced help, and limited in time, 45 boys are eager for any scout tactics which their leader can furnish. Troop No. l, Batangas offers a challenge to Troop 51 in Fayetteville in knot tying, merit badges and increased membership. Other boys 'sharp as a whip' are awaiting a chance. Although of different beliefs, there is no friction since one of the scout laws calls for 'freedom of worship,' " The Eagle-Bulletin, 9/20/1946.

Another member of the crew injured on that trip was Tech. Sgt. William R. Underhill of Rochester, radio operator, who was hit in the hand...Other Central New York men in the same group were...Frank Bigelow of Fayetteville, who is a prisoner of war after being shot down over Naples; Lt.

It was mis-sent to Seattle and when it finally did arrive I was in Mexico. hearing from old friends is very pleasant indeed. I was particularly glad to hear that conditions in Fayetteville are satisfactory, despite the many changes which everyone has been called upon to make. The WAC is truly a great and useful organization. Being here in San Antonio, in the center of the largest concentration of army and air force installations in the country, has given me ample opportunity to see how this branch of the Army functions. My work calls for frequent visits to all of the camps in this area, and I have observed these girls hard at work doing exactly the same jobs which men were doing only a few months ago. They are not only doing the same work but having a good time doing it. At a time like this it surely is our duty to do what we can for our country. I cannot too strongly urge the girls of Fayetteville to consider serving with the WAC if they are eligible. I can assure them, from personal experience, that the satisfaction derived from service to the country will be greater than any which they have ever experienced before.

"Letters From Our Boys in Service / Hello, Major Durston and all the Members of Post 141. I thank you very much for keeping up my membership in the Sons of the American Legion. It sure makes me feel good to know that those at home are behind each and every one of us in the armed services. You of the last war, know, as we do now, that it is a privilege as well as an honor to serve in the Army of the United States. We have the best of food, best of medical care, the best of clothing, the best of shelter, the cream of the officers, and most of all, the highest morale of any armed force on the face of the earth. If you don't mind, I'll give you an idea as to where I've been in the past few months. As you know, I went from Ft. Niagara to St. Petersburg, Fla. for my basic training. Then I was good enough to become a platoon leader right off the bat, thanks to the drill team of the American Legion formed a few years ago, for it was Ralph Fox, Bill Sweet, Maj. Durston and others who taught me the Manual of Arms and drill formations. Well, from St. Petersburg I qualified as a volunteer for the suicide squad (aerial gunnery). I passed the flying physical and left for Tyndall Field, Fla. There I started my class in aerial gunnery. The second day there the War Department declared that school under the West Point Cadet system. I was in Squadron B at the time, the best outfit in the place. Along with six other men, I was called before the 'Old Man' and on my military bearing, courtesy, and experience as well as ability to perform the movements capable of a soldier, I was appointed Cadet Squadron Commander, and had charge of the entire squadron of 1,500 men and sir, that was a job big enough, let alone the school work and studying. Well that came out all right in the end. I graduated Feb. 3, 1943 with the highest honors of the class. Maintaining a 98% theory average, as well as expert with the 50 and 30 caliber machine guns in air to air firing from At-6's and B-24 and B-25 bombers (turret and waist gun). From there I was sent to radio school, here at Scott Field, Ill. This, I must say, is heaven. We also have a Cadet system, and it is really on the ball, you know what I mean. Well, the highest a man can get here in office is barrack captain, and that holds a lot of water, too. I have the distinction of having the cleanest barrack in the squadron. My men are right on the ball. Well, Major, I'm up to date now. I have five more weeks of school here and then off to another school, so my orders read. But I sure would give anything to get my hands on a pair of 50 calibers right soon. Thanks again for all you have done, and wish you all the luck and success in the world. Write soon. I enjoy hearing from all of you. Sincerely yours, Frederick Bullard, Flying Sgt. A. C.," The Eagle-Bulletin, 5/21/1943. "Sgt. Frederick A. Bullard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick A.

I expect to be home on a 30-day leave, but since I've enlisted for three more years in the Army, I'll come home in January. I'll be transferred soon to my permanent camp. Here is a poem I saw in the camp paper two weeks ago. I thought you would like it. I have never forgotten a word of it and it has a true meaning: 'Those little white crosses/So silent and still,/That stand by a woodside/In a beachhead hill./They each mark a symbol/Of some Mother's son,/Who has given his life/That this war may be won./So when you pass by/Give a salute and a Prayer,/And thank God in heaven/Your cross isn't there.' Well, I guess this is about all for now, but I will be seeing you all before long, I hope. So until then, thanks a million and best of everything to you,. Sincerely yours, Pfc. Robert Bullard, Co.

Cruiser into battle for the first time today against the Japanese. Her guns sent two Japanese bombers crashing into the sea not far from Japan, and the carriers she defended so well are free to launch their planes against the enemy. Today, shortly after dawn, when the first Jap 'Betty' stole through a curtain of ack-ack and let loose its bombs, the men knew there was a difference from yesterday when 'business as usual' was the plan of the day, and outwardly the officers and men carried on as if they had no notion of the imminence of battle. But they all knew that just over the horizon lay the mainland of Japan. The next plane did not get through; it dissolved in the focal fire of a barrage from the ships of the task force. A third one, intent on sowing destruction on the deck of a carrier, broke through, but it was riddled with flack and diverted. Other planes came in to meet the fierce anti-aircraft fire of this cruiser and other ships of the force, but they were repelled. The carriers moved on toward their goal. This evening the Captain of this newly-baptized cruiser spoke from his station on the bridge to the men at their battle stations. The planes of returning U. S. airmen speckled the sky as they maneuvered for landings. The Captain's words were proud: 'Objective realized...losses of task force aircraft light...damage to the enemy severe. For this ship, two Jap planes; one probable. For you of the crew, well done, shipmates.' Chappell enlisted in the navy in October, 1941, and was assigned to combat duty on the U.S.S. New Mexico in December, 1941. He was seriously injured in the Gilbert Island campaign in November, 1943, and after being hospitalized for a few months was returned to the States and assigned to Philadelphia, Pa. for rehabilitation and further training in February, 1944.

"Letters From Our Boys in Service / Dear Editor: I think it's a swell idea of yours to publish letters from men in the service as it means a lot to not only the men themselves, but also the folks back home that read them. As one of those men, I extend my sincere thanks. / Thank you, T/Sgt. James H. Couden, Jr., and congratulations to the young man in Manlius who merits such an outstanding letter.--Ed. / To whom it may concern: The reason for writing this letter back home originated last December when I was back there on furlough. Most of the fellows I had known were in the service, either in the country or overseas, so the old town looked pretty dead. However, one fellow in particular was left behind, due to a childhood affliction over which he had no control. I had the honor of going through school with him and know him perhaps more intimately than most anyone else. He is one of the squarest fellows I've ever met. I had an idea how much he regretted not being able to go with us, but I didn't know to what extent he would go to make up for this tough break of his. I found out when I got home. He has an accurate record of every man who has left Manlius to serve our country, and on a map hung in his room are labeled pins denoting the approximately destinations of each one. This, however, is the least part of his job. He also has a filing cabinet in this room in which he kept filed, in alphabetical order, each man's name and the letters he has written. This fellow, who was left behind, corresponds regularly with almost every man that has left town, making out all letters in duplicate so that one may be kept on file under the man's name. This is not a once a week or 'whenever-you-get-to-it' occurrence, but it goes on almost every night and must necessarily be a tedious job, especially when it is done on his own time after having worked all day in one of our defense plants in Syracuse. But, speaking for all the boys who have gone, I don't know of any way that the morale of the soldier can be lifted more than by newsy letters from home, and it is with this in mind that he keeps up this writing. For all who are interested, this young man lives directly across the street from the High School on Pleasant street, and I believe he would welcome the opportunity to show and explain the work he has done and is doing. At least a sincere word of thanks from all concerned would certainly repay him in part for his efforts. His keeping in constant touch with us is as important in a way as being out on the front lines. If people at home, not only in Manlius, but every other community in the country, would get behind their men 100 percent in this war, we would be over with it a whale of a lot sooner. One way to help is in writing to the fellows. You don't have to know the man intimately in order to write A few words of news from home are the best builders of morale in the world, and furnish a man with that extra bit of incentive needed to stay in there and fight to get this mess over with. Don't feel hurt if your letters aren't answered. He may be too busy, either in training or fighting to reply. He'll thank you from the bottom of his heart when he gets back. T/Sgt. James H. Couden, Jr., 55th Air Force Band," The Eagle-Bulletin, 6/11/1943. "Mr. and Mrs. E. C. LaPointe, Mary Louise, Betty, and Francis, Mrs. F. Battle, Sr., Delmar Snee, Mrs. F. Battle Sr., and S/Sgt.

Carrying $7.06 postage, the gun, a bolt action rifle, a repeater, firing four or five shells, was cased in a wooden box. It was probably used by a Jap sniper, the Coughlins believe, since it is relatively light as those used in jungle fighting, and has a telescopic sight, judged the best part of the weapon...Commenting on the superiority of American munitions in the Pacific, Coughlin wrote that he had seen the Japanese badly beaten with his own eyes and he had seen them actually afraid to meet the American forces. Word was received also yesterday from Jim Hartley, pharmacists mate 1/c, by his mother, Mrs. Alma Hartley of 110 Edwards street, that he had met and talked for a couple of hours with Coughlin somewhere in the Pacific.

Sgt. Cummins was born in Little Falls, but came to Fayetteville with his parents when a small boy.

Another communication has been addressed to Mrs. Cimmins from the War Department, which explained the gallantry and courage of her son in the battle of Ploiesti, where he was reported as missing. It was in this sector which was bombed so thoroughly, that the Nazis lost about two-thirds of their oil supply which has weakened their air power considerably. The letter sent to Mrs. Cummins was in part as follows: 'Forgive me for not writing sooner. I want you to know the wonderful contribution T/Sgt. John D. Cummins has made toward winning the war. I want you to know of his gallantry, devotion to duty and steadfastness of purpose in accomplishing the most difficult mission ever assigned to our Air Force. T/Sgt. Crimmins is one of the great heroes of this war, his name has been indelibly written in our country's history. I am the proudest Commander in the world, no Commander has had a braver, more efficient force than the one which bombed the Romanian Oil Refineries on August 1, 1943. Any new information which may be received will be transmitted to you by the War Department or directly from the Group Commander. I have made a recommendation for an award for T/Sgt. Cummins' deeds which has been approved by Gen. Brereton. You will hear more of this at a future date. Sincerely, U. G. ENT, Brig.-Gen. USA, Commanding. (The crew of two of the Liberator bombers deliberately sacrificed their lives by diving their planes into Ploiesti oil field targets...the two planes, almost out of control, were aimed at vital targets in a suicide dive by their pilots, who made the sacrifice 'to shorten the war.' One plane hit and destroyed a refinery and the other shattered an important cracking plant, said Sgt. Frank Kozak of Carbondale, Pa., The Eagle-Bulletin, 9/24/1943.) "A year ago this month, Mr. and Mrs. W. Eugene Cummins, of Little Falls, former residents of Fayetteville, received a communication from the war department that their son Tech. Sgt. John D. Cummins was missing in action in the Middle Eastern Area but no further details were given at that time, except that the plane and crew, of which he was a member, was missing after a raid on Nazi oil refineries in Romania. Last week they received a letter from the war department in which it was state that their son must now be presumed to be dead, and gave such details as appears on their records in connection with his death. It also stated that the department had entertained hope that he had survived the crash of the big Liberator Bomber on which Cummins was radioman, and that information would be revealed dispelling the uncertainty surrounding his absence. The letter explained further that on Aug. 1, 1943, he participated in a bombing attack on the oil refineries at Ploiesti, and that his plane and another in close formation entered a cloud on the return flight and both were then seen falling to earth as though they had collided with each other. Johnny Cummins was a native of Little Falls, but the family lived in Fayetteville for some time while he was 'growing up.' He was graduated from Fayetteville high school and was active in athletics during his school year. After returning to Little Falls six years ago, he entered the employ of Char.

"Morning Mail / Midway Islands. Dear Editor: Well I have not written you in quite a long time, so I figured I had better drop you a few lines to let you know how everything is going. We left Sasebo, Japan, on the 4th of April bound for Seattle, Wash. The first few nights out it was pretty rough and we ran into a fog, but everything seemed to go all right except for the fog horn which was blowing about every five minutes all night long, until about 3 o'clock in the morning. Then a few days later came some nice weather and we did not have much to do so we lay on deck in the day time and had sun baths. About the 12th of April we came about 15 feet from a mine which was first reported by the lookout as a box of groceries coming alongside. When they found out what it was, all gun crews were ordered to man their guns. Only one 20mm. worked as the rest of the guns were all greased up. They turned the ship around and fired at the mine but missed. After firing for about a half hour we were on our way again. The trip was really going nicely with no breakdowns, and we were making better time than we expected. Then on the sixteenth we really had our bad luck. The screwshaft broke and there we were adrift. We were about a hundred miles from Midway, so we radioed the base and told them we were broke down. About thirty-six hours later an ATA (sea going tug) came and towed us to Midway. We arrived here about the 20th and it looked to be a lot better place than I had expected it to be. We came into the inner harbor and tied up to a buoy. A couple of days later we were allowed to send a cablegram home for Easter. We had about 40 passengers on here and they sent a cablegram to the Red Cross in Pearl Harbor, the Time Magazine, Life Magazine, and also the commander of the Western Sea Frontier. They told them that they were passengers on this ship and that the ship was broken down and that they wanted to get home. So the next day they were on their way home by plane. I guess that is one way of getting something. I have been on liberty quite a few times now and I guess Midway is about the cleanest place I have ever seen in all my life. The men on the island have it pretty nice because those who are married have their wives here and they live in houses just like back home, only not as big. Sort of little bungalows like. The commodore of the base has a very nice house with a back lawn, etc. They have a bowling alley with about six alleys, a very nice movie theater, a ship's service where you can buy about anything you need. They also have a beach while is nice and sandy and the water is just right to swim in. They also have a picnic grounds, something like Green Lakes Park back home. We have about 50 guys in here with their points in and are awaiting transportation from here to the States. They will probably leave in a few days. If we stay here until the fifteenth or the twentieth, I will be on my way home. But, of course, we can't tell because there is a dry-dock coming here about the eighth of this month and whether it is coming here to repair us or not I don't know. But if we don't get repaired here we will probably get towed to Pearl and get repaired there. We have not had any mail since we left Sasebo but they say that some is coming from Pearl tomorrow or the next day. All of our mail is at Pearl. The water supply is not too good on the ship right now as we cannot get any water except that which we make, and that is not very much. They have no water barge here. So because of that we are limited to one shower a week, except the cooks and mess cooks. And that is where I am lucky because I am a mess cook and I hope I will stay on it as long as we are here. The other guys can go swimming about every day so that helps them out in keeping clean. But of course officers can have showers every day because they are considered better than we are. But, in my opinion, they are no better than I am. I don't know how things are back home but I probably will know when our mail gets here. One thing I am anxious to hear about is whether my brother Jim is home or not. I imagine he is by this time. At least I hope he is. Well, I guess this is about all for now. Bye for now and be good. As Ever, Martin L. Dykeman, S 1/c, U.S.S. Peter H. Burnett," The Eagle-Bulletin, 5/17/1946.

Evans Estabrook, marine squadron intelligence officer somewhere in the Marianas, gets mixed up in his terminology. But rats or Japs, land or air, it's combat! Plagued by assaults of boldly foraging rats at his marine fighter base in the far Pacific islands, Capt. Estabrook, former news reporter and circulation director of The Post-Standard, offered to pay a dollar bounty for every rat eliminated, according to news received here from a marine corps combat correspondent. Marine fighter pilots of the squadron, flying hazardous missions over the Marianas, took him up. In fact, they went one better. Pestered by flies swarming over their camp area, they established a ratio of 10 flies as worth one rat, and offered to pay the captain 10 cents per annihilated insect. So far, Capt. Estabrook is one dollar down," The Post-Standard, 10/1/1944. "Marine Capt. J. Evans Estabrook of Fayetteville got 'back in the groove' when he launched a spiced version of the radio news at the opening of his squadron's new outdoor movie somewhere in the Marianas. Former reporter and later circulation director of The Post-Standard, the captain calls his program The Word: night fighter newspaper of the air, and his squadron mates get a kick out of his broadcasts. Chatty and informative, the program includes a humorous narration of the latest doings of Terry and the Pirates, popular Post-Standard comic strip. 'I get my dope for this from The Post-Standard comic section,' he reports. 'The strip is generally a month old when I see it, but the boys look forward to it all the same.' Commentator Estabrook originated the idea to fill in time between his duties as senior ground officer and chief censor for his night fighter squadron, among the first to land on the captured island and begin operations on the former Jap airfield. 'I like to keep busy,' he said. 'It helps time pass faster.' The boys describe his voice as 'a cross between President Roosevelt's and Gabriel Heatter's.' pilots waiting in the ready room for their turn on night patrol jokingly refer to Capt. Estabrook as The Word. They look to him for reading material and invariably he hands them the latest copy of The Post-Standard," The Post-Standard, 10/29/1944. "Capt.

Everingham, Clinton. Manlius. Name appears on the Manlius Honor Roll.

Everingham, Donald Millard. Manlius. Name appears on the Manlius Honor Roll. Name appears on the Manlius Methodist Church service flag, The Eagle-Bulletin, 4/3/1942. "Mrs. Clinton Everingham and sons, Raymond and Laurence, of Honolulu, have arrived at the California coast, where they will spend a month with Mr. Everingham, U. S. Navy. Later Mrs. Everingham and sons will visit their aunt, Mrs. Ella Fisher, in Manlius," The Eagle-Bulletin, 4/10/1942. "Mr. and Mrs. Millard Everingham received a letter this week from their son, Donald Everingham, now stationed in Oran, Africa. Mr. Everingham writes that at present he is doing night ward-duty. He is with the 48th Surgical Hospital," The Eagle-Bulletin, 12/4/1942. "Donald Everingham, son of Mr. and Mrs. Millard Everingham, of Smith street, has been awarded the Purple Heart for bravery under fire. He was wounded in action. Commando Everingham enlisted in the Medical division, but transferred while in Africa. He has recovered from his injuries and will return to duty," The Eagle-Bulletin, 4/7/1944. "After more than two and a half years overseas--most of it spent with the rugged First Ranger battalion--Donald M. Everingham, Manlius artist, is home, honorably discharged. And his immediate project is a book of prints, originals for which were made in the combat theaters. Not pictures of 'pretty-faced soldiers eating their C rations with relish,' he emphasizes, but, rather, the kind of GIs he saw. 'After you've seen a bit of service, the pretty pictures make you a little weary,' Everingham says. That 'bit of service' includes scrambling ashore in the original November, 1942, landing in North Africa and the Ranger invasions in Sicily and Italy, and, later, at Marseille, France. It includes, too, an incident, in North Africa, where the medical unit with which he was serving wasn't battle-experienced enough to black out its tent hospital perfectly; and a sniper drew a bead on a group crowded about an operating table and shot the patient. In there also was a period of 20 isolated days atop a mountain north of Salerno, after the Rangers had swept ashore and beyond the four miles, only to find themselves cut off without a supply line; fortunately, there were sheep there to kill to add to the slim 'iron rations.' And then the Manlius GI recalls Artena in Italy. That was after the Anzio landing, when the Ranger battalion was wiped out as a unit, a fate Everingham didn't share because he had been hospitalized for the first of two wounds he was to suffer in action. But at Artena, he was part of the now famous First Special Service Force, the initial Yank-Canadian outfit trained as paratroopers, ski and mountain troops, but utilized primarily as ground forces to spearhead attack. Though the Allied troops were entrenched on high ground with the Nazis below, the Germany heavy artillery was picking off the United Nations forces with bloody success. Everingham's unit, in which he was a corporal, had established a first aid station in a sewer. 'But it was a clean sewer,' he says. 'At that, tho, there wasn't much else to use and the Jerries' heavy stuff was raking away at everything that stuck up. Then they hit a water main uptown and an avalanche of a flood struck us. There wasn't anything to do but move the casualties, and most of them bad. So we went thru pretty tough fire to get them into a building that somehow stayed up.' For a part in the 20-day stand near Salerno, Everingham shared with his fellows in a presidential citation. In addition, he has earned a purple heart ribbon and an African theater bar with three campaign stars. The three years of service included training in the Southwest and duty in Iceland and the British Isles, adding more travel to a peace-time itinerary that had included a trip to Mexico and New Mexico a few years back. That artist's journey, part of which was reported in stories sent to The Post-Standard came after Everingham's graduation from Syracuse university's College of Fine Arts in 1937. The war-book project already has a beginning. Some 25 pen-and-ink drawings and watercolors were sent home from Italy and Sicily. The final batch of published work, he hopes, will run to 80 prints," The Post-Standard, 12/24/1944. "Millard Everingham, whose paintings appear in the current Harwood Foundation exhibition, has recently held a one-man show at the Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, another at Syracuse University and one of his oil paintings of one of his neighbors at Ranchos de Taos has been added to the permanent collection of the Dallas, Texas Museum. Meantime Mr. Everingham is far from the field of art, but storing up impressions and making sketches for work in the future, as a member of a U. S. Army medical corps detachment in service in North Africa. From San Francisco comes a comment from Dr. Termayne MacAgy, acting director of the San Francisco Gallery, stating that the exhibition was one of the best one-man shows that we have ever had in this building, and everyone, young and old, conventional and modern, enjoyed it very much. Mr. Everingham does not deal in the spacious New Mexico of Peter Hurd or the romantic Indian world of the Taos and Santa Fe groups. It is said he divides his time between a ghost town called Pents Altos, the mining camp of Mogollon and Taos. Anyhow, what seems to fascinate him most is the shacks in the hills, the unpainted houses, the corrugated iron garages and the dusty mine buildings. These he presents through a crystal clear atmosphere in cool but rich color, in spacious sizable compositions. As Henry Rust, of the legion staff, remarked, 'He is master of straight honest-to-goodness drawing, he knows his craft, and he knows what he is about, but one of his major virtues is his refusal to go slick and tricky," The Eagle-Bulletin, 7/30/1945. "Donald Everingham of Mexico is passing a month visiting his parents Mr. and Mrs. Millard Everingham and other relatives and friends," The Eagle-Bulletin, 10/11/1946.
