Burns Neveldine. He came back, and the usual greetings took place. He confessed to knowing that I was in London, but its such a big city that its hard to find one particular person. We stood there on Oxford street with streams of people passing by, and talked of nothing but home and all the fellows we knew, 'way back when! As you know, I was over here before Burns ever got into the Army. He slugged out 23 missions with bombs while I have thrown all kinds of mail at those cases and bags, both very necessary to the war effort, I agree, but direct contrasts, too. It was a very pleasant few minutes we spent there and he is stopping in again tomorrow. I hope to see him again before either one of us leave the U. K.

We stood there on Oxford street with streams of people passing by, and talked of nothing but home and all the fellows we knew, 'way back when! As you know, I was over here before Burns ever got into the Army. He slugged out 23 missions with bombs while I have thrown all kinds of mail at those cases and bags, both very necessary to the war effort, I agree, but direct contrasts, too. It was a very pleasant few minutes we spent there and he is stopping in again tomorrow. I hope to see him again before either one of us leave the U. K.

Earl's citation...that men like himself work so diligently in factories all over the country: 'By direction of the President, under the provisions of Art. 600-45, 22 September, 1943, as amended, a Bronze Star Medal is awarded to: 'First Lieutenant Earl L. Oot, 0552931, Infantry, Army of the United States, for heroic achievement in connection with military operations against an armed enemy as a Platoon Leader of Company F, 353rd Infantry, on two occasions, 20 March, and 4 April, 1945, in Germany. On the first occasion, under heavy enemy rifle, machine gun and 20 mm fire, he fearlessly led his platoon in the destruction of formidable enemy defenses at Limbacher Hohe, capturing 40 prisoners, 11 88 mm guns and a number of machine guns and rifles. On the second occasion, south of Berka, his platoon was suddenly subjected to severe automatic, machine gun and rifle fire coming from a wooded hill. With decisive judgment, First Lieutenant Oot immediately rallied his men and aggressively led them in the attack across open terrain to destroy the position without suffering casualties, killing 24 enemy and capturing three. His remarkable leadership, courage, tactical skill and devotion to duty reflected great credit upon him and were in keeping with the best traditions of the armed forces of the United States. Entered the military service from New York.' In a letter dated July 11, Lt. Oot told his parents of his experiences.

Oot, is in basic training at Camp Rucker, Ala. 'We stared in amazement,' wrote the infantry officer on a three-day pass from Germany. 'Millions crowded the Champs-Elysees, the famous street of Paris. Airplanes flew low down the street and one even went thru the arch. Jeeps and trucks loaded to capacity moved thru the streets. The famous French cavalry moved thru in bright red uniforms. Here and there bands played and the tempo grew. 'All night and all day the crowds moved. Beverages flowed freely at 20 cents for watered beer and champagne at $16 a bottle. The girls kissed the soldiers and occasionally we kissed them--maybe you'll see me in a newsreel. Anyway, we were just off the front lines, and it was too much for us. Everyone we knew was back, we still had our muddy boots on. 'Then we began our night life. The night clubs are wilder than anything in the States. Terrific is no name for it. Two orchestras played a solid hour while pretty girls entertained, then 30 minutes of dancing and an entire new show began. The lights went on in Paris, the fountains began to flow. Great joy was everywhere present and everyone was doing his part. My only sorrow was for those who'd done the real job and couldn't be there. Also for those who will never see the lights again. But the road back to Paris from Germany, where he is stationed, was not so gay. At Aachen Lt. Oot said that hardly a building stands. On passing thru the Siegfried line he reminisces: 'What a line--how did we ever do it? I can tell you, inch by inch and on the bell. It was the infantry that crawled up on them at night and knocked them out. No amount of artillery, except direct fire, can knock them out. Some are six feet of concrete and others much thicker.' On his return part of the journey was over Hitler's great road in trucks doing more than 50 miles an hour. He is now stationed in a German schoolhouse near Gera," The Post-Standard, 6/3/1945.

Pastner, Rexford P. Fayetteville. "Sixth Army Group, France--Baptism of fire is an experience few soldiers ever forget--and the men of the 398th Infantry Regiment of the 100th (Century) Division have special reason never to forget theirs. For they went into action for the first time in one of the toughest sectors of the long Sixth Army Group front in Eastern France. The enemy held prepared positions in dense forests. Their dugouts were deep, covered with logs, and well camouflaged. Their artillery was placed on the mountainous heights that rose above the forest level. Tank traps, booby-traps and land mines--many of the latter ingeniously fitted with tripwires -- blocked the narrow routes and paths through the forest. Still, against military obstacles like these, against a fanatic enemy, and in weather conditions that included rain and snow and ankle-deep mud, the 398th proceeded without delay to help take Baccarat, to cross the swift, flooded Muerthe River, and to press the Nazis further back toward the Rhine. The 398th Infantry, with other units of the Century Division, was activated at Fort Jackson, S. C., in November, 1942, participated in maneuvers in Tennessee, and later moved to Fort Bragg, N. C., for training in coordination of infantry with tanks, artillery and air force. It proved that it had learned its lessons well, for the drive on Raon L'Etape, a strategic town on the 7th Army front, the regiment skillfully out-maneuvered the Nazis' prepared defenses and took the high ground which surrounds the town and commands a stretch of open terrain to the east--in the direction of the Rhine.

For they went into action for the first time in one of the toughest sectors of the long Sixth Army Group front in Eastern France. The enemy held prepared positions in dense forests. Their dugouts were deep, covered with logs, and well camouflaged. Their artillery was placed on the mountainous heights that rose above the forest level. Tank traps, booby-traps and land mines--many of the latter ingeniously fitted with tripwires -- blocked the narrow routes and paths through the forest. Still, against military obstacles like these, against a fanatic enemy, and in weather conditions that included rain and snow and ankle-deep mud, the 398th proceeded without delay to help take Baccarat, to cross the swift, flooded Muerthe River, and to press the Nazis further back toward the Rhine. The 398th Infantry, with other units of the Century Division, was activated at Fort Jackson, S. C., in November, 1942, participated in maneuvers in Tennessee, and later moved to Fort Bragg, N. C., for training in coordination of infantry with tanks, artillery and air force.

"Letter from a Soldier -- Dear Editor: Would appreciate very much if the following article was published in the Eagle-Bulletin. Thank what I've typed will interest most people of our village. I receive the Eagle-Bulletin over here and enjoy reading the news; keeps one in contact with his home folks. News has reached this theater that many cities of the world are now making plans for elaborate and expensive war memorials and statues. Men and women in the armed forces of the world appreciate this gesture, I am certain, but they do not agree with it wholeheartedly. Most of them have been too much suffering, death and destruction to appreciate spending money on marble statues and memorial building. Those who have given their lives in this war gave them so that the others could enjoy a better way of life, and learn to exist in peace, together. The eyes of the world are now turned to America as a leader in the rehabilitation program that is to follow after hostilities have ceased. America cannot swing such a program alone obviously, but she can introduce a program of world child rehabilitation. It is suggested that on the great day of victory, when all peoples of the world are celebrating, each man and woman contribute what he may desire in money to be used for world-wide rehabilitation of children. This fund would be turned into supervised channels for the purpose of providing food, clothing and medical care for the millions of little children who have suffered so greatly in this world conflict. Children have provided plenty of morale building for servicemen and women throughout the world. Contact with children of war has touched them and kept them human. Many a soldier has shared, or given entirely of his last ration, that a starving child would not go hungry. Many of these boys are now dead. They have made the supreme sacrifice. What better memorial could we give to them than to help these same children? Servicemen and women will be the first to make such a contribution, I am sure. Will other people of the world give to such a fund, or would they prefer to build marble statues that will soon be forgotten? To the people of Fayetteville: 'Think it over, as our little town has contributed greatly to this war both by giving lives, and helping the children of this warn-torn world," Robert F.

"Morning Mail / Seckenheim, Germany. October 25, 1945. Dear Editor: I quote first from a saying of Mrs. F. D. R. 'Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt suggested that United States soldiers in Germany may become influenced by Nazi propaganda if they are forgotten by Americans at home. Lonely boys are ready to be told a great many things, she said in a message to the National War Fund. Instead of our converting the Nazi, some of the Nazi doctrine might come to us.' This statement is agreed with whole heartedly by many boys in occupied Germany today. 'Strikes" - It seems that is all the people of America do. What would happen if the G. I.'s would strike? Think it over. 'Points' -- When a few of your congressmen get through lining their pockets with velvet, maybe the G.I's will get home. What happens? Thousands of American boys give their lives for you people at home and then you turn around and stab his comrade in the back. Is it fair? Think this over! If they would send a few of those strikers over here maybe they'd change their tune when they knew what a G.I. goes through over here. Holiday time is growing near. Many more boys would be home this year, but what happens--STRIKES HELD UP THE SHIPMENT. Would appreciation publication of this letter, or are you afraid the people will know the TRUTH. Maybe I've gone too far in some things but I am speaking for the G.I.'s and not myself alone. There are some men with over 100 points still over here. Think it over, people of Fayetteville (a peace loving village of America) or are you afraid of the TRUTH? May God bless you all, always. The best of wishes for the holiday season. Sincerely yours, Robert Petch. Ed. Note: No, Bob, the Editor is never afraid of the TRUTH," The Eagle-Bulletin, 11/23/1945. "Pvt. Robert F.

A member of the combat photographers' unit in which the average flying time during August was 93 combat hours each, the sergeant was one of the 'charter' members of the photosection when it was set up at Hickam Field, Hawaii, last September. Covering Allied bombings of Jap shipping and shore installations from New Guinea, the unit has to its credit direct fighting scores, as well as outstanding aerial shots. The dispatch tells of a member of the unit, Tech. Sgt. George S. Ashworth, Jr., of Hartselle, Ala., who watched a Jap tanker thru his camera hatch after he had used all his film. Seeing a few four-pound incendiary bombs near him, he took a freehand sighting with one, pitched it out of his hatch and followed with several more. As the B-24 banked and prepared to go in for its strafing run, the tanker suddenly caught fire, and Ashworth, combat cameraman, was credited with a direct hit. Sgt. Schauweker has likewise been mentioned as crew member of successful Liberator attacks.

The 25-year-old gunner is at the army air forces redistribution station at Atlantic City, N. J., awaiting reassignment. 'Crash landings notwithstanding,' grinned Sgt. Schauweker, 'the closest I ever came to being injured was when my camera was shot out of my hands by exploding flak. My hands were useless thru numbness for two days.' His camera was shot out of his hands over an airdrome near Medang. At another time he returned unscathed from a bombing mission on a seven-ship Jap convoy with 122 holes shot in his plane by Zeros. He recalled how he shot down a nip Zero. 'I was operating the waist guns on our ship as it made a reconnaissance flight searching for Jap shipping or installations in the Admiralty Islands. We spotted an enemy airdrome and made a neat bombing run on it. Nine Zeros attacked us. One of them headed directly for my guns in the waist of the Lib. I stopped him at 500 yards. He exploded in front of my eyes,' said the sergeant. Sgt. Schauweker was awarded the silver star for the single plane strike his Liberator made on shipping at Wewak when it beached one, sank another and set on fire a third enemy surface ship. The craft was forced to crash land on its home base. In addition he wears the air medal and cluster and the presidential unit citation, the latter being given his group for participation in the Bismarck sea battle," The Post-Standard, 4/27/1944.

"George Roscoe Smith, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. G. R. Smith, 160 Washington street, was recently graduated from the Marine aviation radio school at the marine barracks naval air station, Florida, and promoted to corporal. He enlisted in the Marine Corps in Feb., 1942," The Eagle-Bulletin, 1/8/1943. "Somewhere in the South Pacific (Delayed)--A Marine torpedo bomber pilot and one of his gunners returned to their squadron today after drifting 76 hours under a scorching South Pacific sun and calmly told how they had survived on fish and birds. They crashed into the sea during a night bombing raid after being chased for one hour by a Japanese plane. Members of the crew were First Lt. Earl L. McLaughlin, Jesup, Ga., pilot, and Sgt. George R. Smith, Jr., 160 Washington street, Manlius, N. Y., gunner. Anxious comrades gathered around the pair as they told of their rescue around 7 a.m. on the fourth morning, after living on a single chocolate bar, one canteen of water, birds shot down by Sgt. Smith, and small fish scooped from the ocean in a piece of cloth. Lieut. McLaughlin, a graduate of the University of Georgia, started the story: 'Forty-two of us took off on that morning. We reached our target ten minutes ahead of schedule and had to circle the target the second time. 'On the second run, I was hopped by a Jap plane. I ducked in and out of clouds for about an hour, trying to shake him. 'I noticed I was running low on gas and decided the best thing to do was dive down just above the water and head for home. I wanted to fly about 100 feet above the surface, but as I nosed down and leveled off, I hit the water. As I hit, I immediately climbed out and gunner Smith did likewise. The valve on the life raft had frozen and it took 20 minutes before it became fully inflated. All rations, with the exception of the candy bar and canteen of water, were attached to the life raft cover. We threw these away in our haste to get to the raft. We never gave up any time during those three days. We prayed each morning and night, and several times during the day--and our prayers were answered. We crashed into the water around 4:30 a.m. and rowed until 11 a.m.; got so hot at that time we just had to eat. Sgt. Smith and myself started a conversation and I learned at that time we both were Baptists, he being a Northern Baptist, and I a Southern Baptist. About three hours after we crashed, we saw one of our planes about 200 feet off to the right. After firing a full clip of tracer bullets into the sky and failing to attract attention, we became a little discouraged and knew then it was up to us to row to land.' Lieut. McLaughlin was the first to start rowing when Sgt. Smith became ill after the crash. 'By late afternoon I was feeling much better,' said Sgt. Smith, 'and I took my turn at rowing.' 'We worked in intervals, each taking an hour with the paddle. Lt. McLaughlin was really swell. He told me right from the start to call him Mac, his nickname, since his last name was too long. 'He never at any time made a decision without first consulting me. On such things as the weather, water current, distance to land he'd always say, 'what do you think Smitty?' During the first night the pair rowed east continuously, but by morning both were practically exhausted. During the day they drifted and later learned they had been heading directly toward the Japs. 'Late afternoon a calm easterly breeze came up,' said the Marine pilot, 'we immediately began hacking at a salvaged parachute, making a crude sail. This carried us along for quite some distance. We thought sure we were going to get a storm that day and be able to catch some rain water. We were more thirsty than hungry. By nightfall two planes droned overhead and I emptied one clip of tracers and just as I got off the last one, both Smith and myself recognized the planes as Jap. We were really scared then. They came back circle over us for a few minutes, and then pulled away in the direction of Bougainville Island. We waited and waited, and did a lot of praying that they would not come back. Probably the only reason they didn't was because of a haze just overhead which prevented them from seeing us. Later that same night the Japs came in and bombed the beachhead at Empress Augusta Bay on Bougainville, and we had another terrible scare. Anti-aircraft shrapnel was raining all around us, and one shell landed about 75 feet away. During this time we nibbled on the chocolate bar and sipped from the single canteen of water. In the mornings we would wet our lips and once during each evening would take a tiny sip in an attempt to make the supply last. Although exhausted from thirst, we never were really very hungry, thanks to Sgt. Smith and his accuracy with a .45 pistol. Early on the second morning a large bird flew overhead. Smitty took two shots at him and nicked him both times. The bird fell just alongside our raft. We cleaned it the best we could and it didn't taste bad, either. Smitty was especially fond of the liver. Several times during the day we would catch small fish and eat them. Time and time again the tide would bring out coconuts, but all of them, with the exception of one, were spoiled. From that one we refreshed ourselves by drinking the milk, but could not eat the meat as it was sour.' At another time during those days of hardship, Lt. McLaughlin remembers how Sgt. Smith, although he had not qualified with a pistol during his recruit training days, proved he could hit just about anything if it was a case of necessity. At one time we saw sharks all around us. We were successful in chasing most of them off--all but one. This big fellow played around for quite a long time, all the while getting closer to our raft. He closed in and made several swishes with his tail as he went back and forth under our raft. His head popped up just a couple of feet away, and Smitty placed a bullet directly between his eyes. Around 7 a.m. of the fourth morning,' said Lt. McLaughlin, 'we saw a warship passing in the distance. I shot several tracers into the air. When we realized it was heading in our direction, we both shouted with joy--and offered a prayer of thanks.' Sergeant Smith's parents are Mr. and Mrs. George R. Smith, Sr.," The Eagle-Bulletin, 2/4/1944. "T/Sgt. George R. Smith, Jr., who has been stationed at Santa Anna, Calif., has been visiting his parents...T/Sgt.

He is John Tailby, 49, gunner's mate first class, who enlisted last July at Minoa, where he resided with his wife and two children. Tailby is a former Onondaga County deputy sheriff. Being an explosives expert in civil life, Tailby has been assigned a demolition job with his battalion. Recently he shot a sharpshooter score on the rifle range, which showed that he hasn't lost the keen eye and steady hand he developed at the front from 1914 to 1918. The first time Tailby volunteered was in August, 1914, while attending college in Scotland. In just a month's time he was in France, fighting with the Royal Scot Fusiliers. During April, 1915, after his regiment had been badly cut up, a lieutenant colonel named Winston Churchill was sent in to bolster the officer ranks and Tailby, then a sergeant, was appointed his orderly. Tailby continued in this capacity for more than two months, becoming well acquainted with the officer who later was to be prime minister of Great Britain. Churchill's constant concern for his men's well-being aroused a deep admiration for him throughout the ranks, Tailby says. After leaving Churchill, Tailby participated in the major Allied offensives. Twice he was wounded. Once, when his troopship was torpedoed en route to Egypt, he was given up for dead," The Post-Standard, 10/5/1943.

"The American grandson of a citizen of Japan this week led American scout forces in the capture of an island from Japan, one of the unusual occurrences of the present war. The American occupation of Amchitka, an island of the Rat group in the Aleutians, only 70 miles from Kiska, was preceded by a unit of combat scouts led by Lt. Col. William J. Verbeck, former member of the faculty of the Manlius School, and a son of the late Brig. Gen. William Verbeck, head of the school for many years. Col. Verbeck is the grandson of the late Dr. Guido F. Verbeck, the only white man ever made a citizen of Japan. Dr. Verbeck was born in Holland, did not live there long enough to become a citizen, came to America but did not stay here long, and went to Japan 'a man without a country.' He became adviser to the Emperor and was made a citizen by special act of the Japanese Diet. Dr. Verbeck bought the first warship Japan ever had, and its first cannon. His son, the late general was born in Nagasaki, but came to this country at an early age. After serving at Manlius School as professor of military science and tactics, Lieutenant Colonel Verbeck went to Japan in 1938 to study the language. He was an 'exchange officer,' a Japanese Army man coming here to study in similar manner. With war clouds hovering, Verbeck feared internment in the event of hostilities, and prevailed upon the authorities to give him the status of military attaché, exempt from internment when war came..." Bottrill scrapbook, n.d. "How Lt. Col. William J. Verbeck of Manlius used his mastery of the Japanese language to trick Jap soldiers on Attu, as the English-speaking Japs had tricked our boys on Guadalcanal, was related in a letter written by him to his brother, Carl Verbeck, and passed by the censor. The letter was written on June 2, and reached Mr. Verbeck at Manlius today. Col. Verbeck said that, after landing, he and Sgt. Oldshausen passed the first night at a point far in advance of the American forces who had made the first landing. In the night, he said, they were challenged several times in Japanese and he responded to the challenge in the same language, with the result that the Jap exposed himself and 'the unfortunate challenger was killed.' Col. Verbeck, then a captain in the United States Army, was sent to Japan in 1938 to learn the language. He remained until the outbreak of war, having, 'when things began to get hot,' been made a military attaché of the American Embassy, which gave him diplomatic status when war did come. He speaks Japanese fluently and grammatically. In his letter to his brother, the colonel says he obtained the first Japanese war flag on Attu from a Japanese major 'after a little dispute in which the major died.' A motion picture was made of the presentation of the flag at American headquarters and the film is being shown now in theaters in the United States," Bottrill scrapbook, n.d. "Col. William J. Verbeck of Manlius earned the doubtful honor of being the first American casualty of the Mindanao invasion--all because he was obeying orders to be cautious. Known as a hard-fighting front-line soldier, the regimental commander in the 24th division had been wounded three times before and had been ordered to remain at his command post, instead of rushing toward the front. Four hours after the landing, a sniper nicked Verbeck in the back with a bullet that might have killed him if the officer had not been leaning over at the time. As it was, he received a flesh wound and returned to duty a few hours later, according to an AP report for Mindanao. When wounded, Col. Verbeck was sitting in his command post, per orders, several miles behind advance positions...He was graduated from Manlius School and then entered the U. S. military academy at West Point, where he was graduated in 1927. The colonel's wife resides in Brooklyn. During the Pacific war Col. Verbeck has served in Alaska where he earned the legion of merit award for 'invaluable service in the expulsion of the enemy from the Aleutian islands,' and on Leyte island in the Philippine where he personally ended a one-man Jap charge with a well-aimed bullet from his .45 pistol," The Post-Standard, 5/29/1945.

Weber wrote to his wife several weeks ago: 'The Red Cross recently acquired an area that will be under the jurisdiction of my work. The place is a lovely small town which has been established as a rest center for men from the front (air corps personnel). The facilities there are provided cooperatively by the army and Red Cross and are the men well taken care of! Boy, what a set-up! 'The Red Cross has taken over the largest hotel in town for billeting the men...a wonderful kitchen and a dining room is operated. The food is excellent and there are seconds if the boys want them. Plenty of fresh pasteurized milk and how the boys do go for it, as they are without it all the time where they come from. Most of the boys gain seven to 10 pounds during a 10-day stay. They are weighed in on arrival and departure. 'Twenty-four hour laundry service is available with pressing and dry-cleaning. The hotel also has a barber shop and shoe shine parlor. A recreation program is maintained that is a honey; trips to the beach twice a day, horseback riding, fishing trips by boat, roller skating, and dancing every other night in the recreation hall - all free! Swimming trunks and towels are provided to boys who don't have them and most of them don't. Athletic equipment is also provided. For those who like tennis. Red Cross has taken over some courts and provided rackets, balls and shoes. Almost anything a soldier wants to do is at his disposal...I recently ran into Dr. Fred Silverman of Syracuse, Howard Mott of Manlius, Moss Hamilton, Fabius , and Lt. Grant Murray of Seneca Tnpk.. and our meeting developed into a wonderful friendship. It was swell to see someone from home. 'The most important thing in the minds of all the boys is the thought of going home. They develop all sorts of phrases and the latest around here is -- MOM'S DOOR in 44! If the folks at home could only see what their dollars to the Red Cross are doing for the boys overseas it would do their hearts good. In this place I don't know what the soldiers would do without Red Cross. 'We have good facilities for feeding, housing, recreation and social services rendered thru the field office. It's a pleasure to be a part of an American organization helping American boys overseas. Of course, we have our headaches, plenty of them. But the work is definitely worthwhile.' " John L. Weber, well known dry goods merchant in this village, died Wednesday in the University hospital, in Syracuse, after an illness of two years.
