Some of these have been released because of age, others for physical disabilities, and a third group be- ' cause of the point system. While • we do not have an official list of dfacharged men, our files show the Allowing that have been released, 4T are soon1 to be made civilians. The first of these is Sgt. Robert Doran, who will not become a civilian until next Wednesday, August 1. A McCullom Lake soldier, "Bob" has se$n five years of service, three of these in combat^in the Pacific. He •offered malaria attacks many times *||nd is surely one of c r most deserving soldiers for release. V Among others discharged during the past six months were LaVern Harrison and Walter Kreutzer, both eriginally West side boys. The former slipped on a coral reef in the Pacific and injured his leg some months ago but continued on his *ay until he was j>nable to go farther. The latter received bullet wounds in his foot while on duty in Europe last year and was confined for about nine months to a hospital In England before being sent back to the States, where surgery has greatly improved his condition. TVro cousins, George and Neil. Thurlwell, received honorable discharges earlier in the war, while the Steinsdoerfer brothers, Alvin and Leonard, have been released recently. Both of the latter were given medical discharges, the former having served fin the Pacific and the latter in the States. Two Purple Hearts Receiving the Purple Heart twice ftr wounds suffered while fighting ; With the marines to gain important Pacific Islands, Howard Voeltz was •confined to the hospital at Great Lakes upon his return to this country and a few months ago was released. -7- One of the narrowest escapes was encountered within the past two paiwby Elmer Smith, son of Mrs. Bena Smith, who has hidden his war experiences in the back of his memcries and set himself up in business since his release some time ago. Elmer was on Bougainville in the Pacific when a bomb exploded nearby, injuring muscles and nerves in his chest and arm. Among the first to be released on -4he point system were Arnold Larson, George Kinsala and Lloyd Whiting, all of the army. Arnold was the #rst McHenry county, man to land in India early in the war and served there continuously until his return to the States in May. George, who irew the second high draft number from the goldfish bowl back in 1941, saw service in many European counbefore his return a few weeks Lloyd was also-in the European __jtre, returning a short time ago. One of the first to be discharged in this war was Russell Franzen, who alio was among the first to enlist. After <four years of service, including #oty in Alaska, he was given a medical discharge in September of 1943. Two of our ladies in service have also been gi'*®n discharges, Lieut. Eleanor Althoff Wiater of the army •one corps, and WAVE Jerrv Becker Doran. Then Lieut. Althoff, Eleaaor became ill while on duty in North Africa and was confined to lisspitals here for several months hfor0 her release about a year ago. WAVE Doran served a long period If time in Washington, D. C* prior her release. Older Veterans , Sever® 1 of our servicemen were -- flailed into service or volunteered to the cause even though past the preferred 18 to 26 age group. Some mt these were discharged because of age, others for having successfully 'completed a long term of service. Among these were William M.-Green, Capt. John Greene, l<eo Heimer, H»feld F. Miller, Leo Rothermtei; Gfinin r-i Wattles and Stanley Geier. * " Among those ritore seriously injured and civilians once more aril LeRoy Conway, "Sonny" Smith and William E. Shoemaker. It will be remembered that LeRoy was one of cur D-Day casualties in Europe. On June 7 of 1944, when his heavily lader glider landed in France, many Stf those aboard were injured, including our own member of the medical corps, who suffered a broken leg " and o'her injuries. "Sonny" Smith #as another D-Day casualty, reviving his wounds in the jaw during the invasion of Omaha Beach. After thirteen months spent in Wakeman General hospital. Indianapolis, Ind., . he has joined his family to start life where he left off when he answered the several years ago. "Bill" Shoemaker made his tragic encounter with the Germans on Armistice Day last year when he stenoed on a lard •nine, badly injuring his leg. With youth on his side and a strong will, lie again has entered civilian life .frith high hopes for the future. . A serious illness contracted last April by Herb Reihansperger in - Washington brought relatives to his Wdside. However, after several jponth's hospitalization, he has made great gains and although discharged honorably from army service, is again feeling quite well. Ill Health In Enemy .
