stars for seven major battles of the Pacific. There could be
quite a story on where he was during those 18 months in the Pacific
in which he earned a silver star, for five battles, and two bronze
stars. However, Gage, former employee of The Post-Standard 10
years, has been too many answers to the five Ws of newspaper writing

the press--and he's not talking, even 'off the record.' 'It was
all in the papers,' he said. 'I was in seven major battles.
That's all.' he did admit that his ship reached the Pacific after
the battle of the Solomons and that the Philippines battle had
started before they left the scene of action. On the innocuous
topic of food, he explained that sailors didn't have to dream
of ice-cream as on the ship there was a 'gedunk' stand (ice-cream
bar) with a couple of flavors available each day. Gage entered
service June 1, 1942. After basic training at Newport, R. I.,
he entered electrician's school there. On completion of that

raided the Japanese mainland twice, bombarded a Jap-held island
north of Okinawa and rode unscathed through a violent typhoon.
Edward Gage, E.M. 1/c...is also a member of the Alabama's crew.
One of the raids against the Nip homeland was uneventful, but
during the other operation the 'Mighty A,' as the man-o-war is
known to her crewmen, ran into a hornet's nest of Jap suicide
pilots. Scores of the Kamikaze planes were shot down outside
the task force formation, but at least four came in close enough
to be splashed by the guns of this and other ships. The Alabama
gunners claim credit for downing two of these planes and for assisting
in destroying another. One Kamikaze, a Zeke-type fighter, flew
through the clouds of ack-ack before singling out this ship as
his target, but as he turned to make his death run his plane was
hit and crashed flaming, a scant 300 yards away. During her bombardment
assignment, the Alabama turned loose her 5- and 16-inch guns to
pulverize Jap shore installations. The typhoon the battleship
experienced pounded the 35,000-ton vessel for hours, causing her
to pitch and toss heavily, but she (incomplete)," The Eagle-Bulletin,

of the fighting to help clear the island of Japs. Several shrapnel
wounds in battle put him in a hospital in the New Hebrides three
months, and he afterwards served in New Zealand and Australia
before returning to the United States. The Guadalcanal story
has been told so many times already by marines who have come back
to the states that it seems an old one now,' Pvt. Goodfellow said,

Service / Another letter received here by the parents of one
of fighting men in Africa tells of enjoying ice cream and cake
at a Red Cross station in that warring area. / From Jack Goodfellow,
to His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Goodfellow, Fayetteville.
Dear Family: Believe it or not, I just had some ice cream, cake
and some good cookies. I am at a Red Cross station, which runs
our officers' club over here, and they furnish the sweets for
us. It is the first sign of the Red Cross, beside the small office
that they have at each field, that I have seen. There are a number
of these places in large towns over here in North Africa. I have
moved since the last time I wrote, and my address is different.
I am getting a little more training over here than I did back
in the States, and I feel much better about it. At present I
am getting checked out as first pilot, which means that I will
be able to take over a ship and crew of my own. It will probably
be quite a while before I do, but you can never tell. I am seeing
quite a bit of North Africa, but haven't been in the middle of
it as yet. I am listening to some good records here in the officers'
club which is coming over the radio from the American Expeditionary
Radio Station in North Africa. They have continuous recorded
playing, mixed with some playing and singing from the Army boys.
I am actually in the middle of combat, and have been on two bombing
raids over Italy. I will be going on my third raid tomorrow sometime.
Things aren't as bad as I figured they would be in actual combat.
We live in tents and wash out of a can of water, but we don't
mind it much. We are kept pretty busy every day, which makes
things a lot better for all of us. We have a very good outfit,
and there are a lot of nice fellows in with us. I don't mind
combat at all, and in fact enjoy it because we fly a lot, and
work on the planes in between times. We have the same plane we
came over in, and the same crew. I see more of the world every
time we fly, and it is very interesting. Jack Goodfellow,"

those serving in the army are George Gregory, India..." The
Eagle-Bulletin, 6/9/1944. "George Gregory was a top-gunner
in the Army Air Forces during world War II, flying in B-29 bombers
over the Himalayan Mountains. That experience launched a life-long
love of aviation. 'My father bought his first plane when he returned
from the war,' said Mr. Gregory's son, Groot, of Boston. 'He
purchased it for about $100, and then he learned to fly.' Over
the next five decades, Mr. Gregory's passion for flying expanded
to include the restoration of antique airplanes. His pride and
joy was the 1929 Fleet 16-B -- a two-seater biplane powered by
a radial engine -- which he had been building from scratch for
the past 35 years. He started it in his basement. When it outgrew
that space, he built a large garage to continue the construction.
'The fuselage was in our basement for about 15 years. My mother
always referred to it as a very elaborate clothes hanger,' Mr.
Gregory's son said. 'We used to hang all sorts of stuff on it.'
When Mr. Gregory died of skin cancer Wednesday afternoon, the
World War II-vintage aircraft was within one month of being ready
for its maiden flight. 'We were going to bring it out this summer
and take it to my hangar in Chittenango to finish it up,' said
Lyle Stedman, Mr. Gregory's friend of many years, a fellow pilot
and airplane builder. 'But then George got sick, and we weren't
able to get it out here. I told George's daughter yesterday that
I would love to finish it as a memorial to George,' Stedman said.
'I would love to finish it and fly it in his memory.' Mr. Gregory
was 74 when he died at his home on Duguid Road in Manlius. His
family and a few close friends were by his side...Mr. Gregory
was a Fayetteville native and a graduate of Fayetteville High
School. He graduated from Syracuse University, where he played
in the band. A French horn player, Mr. Gregory belonged to many
musical groups over the years...In 1970, Mr. Gregory founded G.
G. Gregory in Manlius. The company sells filtration equipment.
In the mid-1970s, when Mr. Gregory and his family moved into
a larger house and he built an over-sized garage for airplane
construction, the second floor of the garage was divided in two.
'Half was the office for the company, and the other half became
a place for my father and all his musical friends to practice,'
Groot Gregory said...Mr. Gregory was president of Fleet Club and
publisher of the International Fleet Aircraft newsletter. He
was a member of the Experimental Aircraft Association and the
Stockbridge Valley Flying club...Surviving Mr. Gregory, in addition
to his wife (Vivian) and son, are two daughters, Jonet Gregory
Vandervelde of Charlotte, N.C., and Laurel Gregory Corbett of
Syracuse; two sisters, Anne Bunce of Chapel Hill, N.C., and Jean
Munger of Fayetteville; a brother, David of Feura Bush, Albany
County; three grandsons, three granddaughters; and several nieces

in travel, on his way to the University of Iowa where he will
take a place on the training staff of the Navy's Pre-Flight Sea
Hawks station. Gregory ran the fastest two miles of his career
and broke a Southern track mark to win a meet for Chapel Hill
recently. He hasn't had an assignment to duty at Iowa yet, expecting
this to come after his arrival there Wednesday but he isn't inclined
to think it will have anything to do with track work," Bottrill
scrapbook, n.d. "Appearing in the proverbial pink of physical
condition, Lt. Lou Gregory of the Navy arrived back in Syracuse
en route to New York City for the Navy Day program yesterday after
18 months in the Pacific. He has been in service two and one-half
years. A winner of many national amateur distance running events,
Lt. Gregory had praise for Lt. George Cole of Minoa, with whom
he ran on a victorious relay team in Hawaii. Cole was a protege
of Gregory when the latter coached Manlius High School to a State
class championship in cross-country. Lt. Cole also arrived home
for a visit. Lt. Cole matriculated at Michigan State after graduating
from Manlius. He served a year and a half on an LST boat in the
Pacific, and kept in condition by running up and down on his comparatively
small craft in off duty hours. When he arrived in Pearl Harbor,
he had only two weeks training before engaging in the long relay
run with Gregory. Lts.. Gregory and Cole were on an eight-man
Navy relay team which won a 36.6 mile race through Pali Pass in
Hawaii. Seven of the eight runners set record times for their
legs of the relay. The course was covered in three hours, 34
minutes and 30 seconds. Captaining and coaching the All-Navy
team in Hawaii, Lt. Gregory led his charges to an 80-54 running
meet victory over the All-Army team on the island," Bottrill

corps in '17, Hale entered training in Canada. He trained at
Toronto and Deseronto fields, served as instructor in Texas, and
then went overseas. Further training in England was followed
by battlefront duty. When he stepped from his plane for the last
time after his service on the western front and in Germany, he
had 1,200 flying hours to his credit. All of that time, by the
way, was flown in the same plane, on the sides of which Hale had
painted 'Syracuse.' Six times the 'Syracuse' was shot down, out
of control. But each time Hale managed to land safely. His flying
comrades used to say he had a charmed life. One of his narrowest
escapes occurred when two struts were shot off his plane. Hale
had been flying at 18,000 feet, when suddenly a German plane swooped
out of the sun and 'got me before I saw him,' he related. 'I
fell 15,000 feet in a spin before I got my machine under control.
They thought I was a goner and didn't follow me down or they
would have got me easily as my plane limped slowly over the lines.'
The other times he was shot down he was just as lucky. When
he brought the 'Syracuse' to England for the last time, it crashed.
The plane would have been junked anyway, said Hale, for hardly
an original part was left. In one dogfight nearly every instrument
in the plane was shot away, and bullets missed the pilot by inches.
In October, 1918, Hale shot down three German planes in one day
near Cambral. That was during the big drive in which tanks first
appeared. For that action, Hale received the distinguished flying
cross at the hands of King George V in Buckingham palace. Later,
for what Hale terms 'a similar incident,' he received the decoration
again--this time from the prince of Wales (later Edward VIII)
aboard H. M. S. Renown, in New York harbor. In his new overseas
duties for Uncle Sam, Maj. Hale doesn't expect to be a combat
pilot. 'But if I see some Jap planes, I certainly won't go around
them,' he grinned," The Post Standard, 3/10/1942. "Frank

fire. In 16 months he has had exactly 18 hours off duty. But
he writes home: 'We are willing to stay and finish the job, but
we would like to hear that every last effort is being used (at
home) to get it over with. Good news from home in this respect
will give us a double boost. We will know that you are behind
us 100 per cent, and that weapons we need will be flowing this
way in an ever increasing stream.' Sgt. Gordon D. Hale, of Manlius,
paints a vivid picture of the Tunisia campaign in a letter received
this past week by his brother, Curtiss M. Hale. They are sons
of Mr. and Mrs. George H. Hale, Manlius, and Gordon has been in
service more than two years in North Africa since last November.
His wife is teaching school in East Syracuse. 'When you read
in Time for Nov. 30 and immediate subsequent issues about the
progress of the British Army, supported by American armored units,
we were part of it,' he writes. 'Our baptism took place at a
place still very much in the news and came to us through the air
a la Stuka. Let me say that is one of the world's most horrible
sensations when one of those things comes down on you. We have
since discovered their bite isn't nearly as bad as their bark,
but we didn't know that at first and so had some rather bad moments.
As you have read, we were without adequate air support at the
time, and they came over time and again unmolested. Altogether
we were in the thick of that first mad scramble well over two
weeks and it was a bad time. Some of the British boys with us
who had been through Dunkerque said in many respects it was worse
than that had been. So, having survived that, I guess we can
take most anything form here on. Subsequent action that we have
seen has been a great deal easier on the nerves. It makes a big
difference whose planes are overhead. On the whole, our outfit
has done a pretty good job and has even received a citation for
one particular action...Our radio entertainment consists of listening
to the news from London each night at 7 except when we're up in
the thick of it. However, we have a victrola in the company now,
which helps some. We also had a visit from our band the other
day. First time we've seen them in Africa." Mentioning
reading about manpower shortages 'back home,' Sergeant Hale wrote:
'I'm not going to say that we're glad to hear that you home folks
are experiencing different shortages and hardships, but we would
like to hear that every last effort is being used to get it over
with. We definitely want to make this as short as possible and
get back home. ...Sergeant Hale wrote that a picture appearing
in Life magazine 'Is definitely not me, although by coincidence
there are a number of boys in it from our regiment. It was taken
on another ship and 'my double' is unidentified here,' "

wild-eye attempt by the Germans to flood and blow up a large part
of this ancient Dutch city, as a sort of farewell present, went
to pieces due to the combined courage and headwork of the Dutch
underground and the American troops working with them. The flooding
stunt was frustrated by a doughty band of American engineers,
who capture the lock on the Maas Canal which the Germans had mined
with the intention of unleashing a 20-foot head of water onto
the city. Sneaking up to the bank of the canal under direct observation,
engineers, under the command of Lt. E. G. Gro of Emmons, Iowa,
lowered rubber boats down its sheer side to a point where eight
American infantrymen, hiding in a tunnel, caught hold of them.
The American squad then lowered itself and the boats to the canal
surface and, accompanied by Gro, paddled 500 yards along it to
the lock. There they overpowered a German officer and four men
they found asleep and prepared the way for a larger force, headed
by Lt. Col. Paul McCollum of Highpoint, N. C., to occupy the lock.
They were nicely in position when 90 Germans came along to blow
the lock and were neatly put into the bag. The plan to blow up
the key buildings of the city began to work when a large package
of TNT, concealed in a piano, blew up the building. Capt. Melvin
C. Handville of Syracuse, N.Y., knew the answer to this situation.
Capt. Handville had arrived at the Gestapo headquarters in Maastrict
less than an hour after the Gestapo had left and had nabbed three
Gestapo men who were busily destroying documents. Handville decided
to give...(them)...a free tour of the town before sending them
elsewhere and on that tour he gave them a chance to point out
objects of interest. At the end of the trip he had a list of
every building that had been mined; they were evacuated, and later
the mines were removed. Two blew up before our engineers could
operate on them but nobody was injured. Lt. Gro and Capt. Handville
always will have a particular affection for Maastricht, and Maastrict,
if it knows anything about them, will probably feel pretty friendly
towards them. Capt. Melvin Handville, formerly Corp. Handville
of the State police, was for a long period with the Fayetteville
State police patrol and was known to many in Syracuse and vicinity.
He joined the Army in February, 1943, as a private and on induction
was sent to Fort Niagara," The Post-Standard, October1944.

them down one main highway in an effort to impede the American
advance, according to an account from European army headquarters.
He and two American majors supervised the mass movement. Capt.
Handville, with army intelligence of the infantry, is credited
with uniting a blind man with his Seeing Eye dog after first seeing
the dog with a handle on his harness and later meeting the old
man groping his way with the crowd. The captain entered service
in 1940, leaving Fayetteville. He has a sister in South Butler

troubles. After making a couple of phone calls to Fayetteville,
they located Jimmy at the Naval Recruiting Station. Hartley said
he wouldn't have been any more surprised if the whole Jap army

would go to sea and return and write a story of his experiences,

Fritzie, as he is called by those who know him best, came to his
aunt's home in Center street. His two brothers, Billy, now a
corporal serving in Australia, and Homer H., Jr., now a sergeant
with armed forces in Africa, also came, but they were more of
an active type, playing ball, riding carts, etc., as Fritzie read
and dreamed. So at the age of 20 he went to sea and has been
a merchant marine ever since. And now at 25 he has completed
his tale of submarines, bombings, heroism and death, giving it
the title of 'Dynamite Cargo.' The story is told in a way that
is new, vivid and his own. The book gets its name from the voyage
of the Jason, which was loaded with dynamite and a member of a
huge convoy of cargo ships, American and British, sailing from
Britain to the White Sea and Russian ports. During the trip the
convoy was subjected to one of the mightiest air attacks staged
by the Nazis against shipping since the war began. The Jason
got through, but the other ships did not. According to William
McFee in the New York Times Book Review Section, and other reviewers,
'Dynamite Cargo' recently published, is regarded as a literary
sensation. Miss Lewis of the Fayetteville Library states that
the book is at the library. Read her book review on the subject
in this issue," The Eagle-Bulletin, 4/30/1943. "...here
is just a snatch from it: 'Once when we had straggled afar (from
the convoy), the flagship hove in sight and broke out a string
of signal flags which advised us to consult St. Luke, Chapter
15, Verse 6. Young Hawley, the ensign, had a Bible...and he came
up to the bridge with it and read the verse to the Old Man: 'And

was lost,' " The Eagle-Bulletin, 4/30/1943. "Frederick

letter published in last week's Eagle-Bulletin, that the War Department
is placing the blame for its own inadequacy in bringing the troops
home, on labor. LIFE magazine has this to say in its Nov. 26
issue: 'By last week dozens of this war's invaluable 10,000 ton
Liberty ships had joined older freighters in the rusting graveyards
of the Mobile River, the James River and Suisun Bay near San Francisco.
GIs in far replacement centers demanded that Liberty ships be
used to carry them home. The National Maritime Union reinforced
the GI plaint, threatened to strike if the War Shipping Administration
did not act. Six CIO Maritime unions have been joined by one
independent union in urging President Truman to investigate the
failure to use 20 ships lying idle in the San Francisco area.
The ships could carry anywhere from 400 to 7,000 troops each,
the unions said. In New York City, the regional director of the
CIO Marine and Shipbuilding Workers listed 11 shipyards where
51 merchant ships could be re-equipped in eight days as troopships
capable of bringing 50,000 troops home. He added that there were
facilities available in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Camden, Boston
and New England ports for re-equipping 125 more ships. I, too,
am interested in the truth and sincerely hope that the fore-going
information will help to still the long-enduring prejudice against
organized labor and give a clearer picture as to why the troops
are not getting home quicker. Sincerely, Will Herman, Veteran
3 years, SWPA, Fayetteville, N. Y.," The Eagle-Bulletin,

order and following the presentation of colors, drill, parade,

was presented a bronze oak leaf cluster in lieu of a second award
of the air medal at an indoor ceremony at the Rapid City army
air base where he is stationed by Col. R. Baez, Jr., station commandant.
Karker was the assistant engineer-gunner on a B-17 with one of

on Guadalcanal after the marines made their first advance. He
was in that area for seven months, bombing Munda, Bougainville,
and the New Georgias from bases at Guadalcanal and in the New
Hebrides. A veteran of 36 combat missions, Karker is one of the
few airmen to survive a bout with the dreaded cumulus mammato-an
aerial inhabitant of the South Pacific. The mammato, a fancy
cousin of a tornado, is equipped with smaller powerful swirling
counter currents. While on a night raid to bomb an island runway
near Shortland in the Solomons group, Karker's plane ran into
a storm. Suddenly the ship hurtled upward. According to the
pilot, action of the dials indicated that an updraft was pushing
them upstairs at 2,500 feet a minute. The pilot sent the ship
into a 200 mile per hour dive--and still they went up. Fortunately,
Karker in the tail-gunner's compartment was wedged in the turret
and held on to the armor with both hands. Other crew members
were battered about inside the plane. The pilot, fighting the
controls, finally succeeded in bringing the ship around in a 180-degree

town near Breslau, Germany, when his B-17 Fortress went thru it
for 18 minutes, said Lt. William B. Lambert, 28, home over Christmas
visiting his wife, Mrs. Ellen Lambert of 1018 Madison st. 'Generally
we hit flak for about five or six minutes of the run,' he said
in describing other raids over Romania, Germany, and Austria.
He recalls the flak over southern France, when they supported
the land invasion, as being less but 'awfully accurate.' All
members of the 10-men crew who went overseas together in May as
a replacement group, returned to the United States. Four of them
received purple hearts. Because he knew that he would be getting
home before it got very cold in Italy, Lt. Lambert did not construct
one of the huts which dot the grounds of his Flying Fortress squadron.
With the aid of Italian labor, obtained at 75 cents a day, bungalow
colonies built from packing cases and stones from bombed buildings,
have sprung up at the airfield, he said. He explained that some
of the amateur builders even had tiled floors. Lt. Lambert enlisted
in service Oct. 7, 1942, and was called to active duty, Jan. 31,
1943. He received his pilot's wings at Turner Field, Albany,
Ga., Jan. 7, 1944, and went to MacDill Field, Tampa, Fla., where
the crew was formed. He went overseas as a co-pilot when in Italy.
On Sept. 18 he was promoted to first lieutenant. A graduate
of Fayetteville high school, he attended Syracuse university.
He was formerly employed by Precision Castings Co., Fayetteville.
