Two Sons Serving in Army,
Vet of Last War Joins Up Aquin

HEADQUARTERS, 18TH LIGHT
MING DIVISION, CAMP BUTNER
N. c., June ia Brice has fought
in every American war since the
Revolution, and this time the family
is doing triple duty, with two sons
who are lieutenants and their dad
Emmett T. Brice, who is a private
in the supply room of the Service
Company, 309th Infantry, 18th
Lightning Division.
Il guess the Army's in my blood,
said Pvt. Brice, slim and scholarly
looking veteran of the 1918 World
War who, despite his 50 years, still
can take the combat training given
youngsters in the 309th Infantry.
His eldest son, Terrence, %, is with
the fire company Of a military police
unit stationed at Hawaii, and Ken
meth, %, Is test pilot at Elgin Field
Fla. Mrs. Brice, wife of the 18th
Division soldier, will run the family
farm in Delaware County, Okla,
"'til the boys come home"
Pvt. Brice had been a high school
teacher and superintendent of
schools back in Oklahoma for 16
years. In 1941 his sons enlisted. He
was placed on the Draft Board of
Delaware County, and saw many a
youth whom he had taught in school
march away to the colors.
Then my feet began to itch for
service. I saw it in World War L
was supply assistant in Liverpool.
Evening star., 1943-06-17

and I wanted to 60 across again to
do my bit for the country"
So he went through hte channels
to get a physical waiver from the
Adjutant Generals Division, and en-
listed at Tulsa. Okla, in August.
He took training at Fort Sill and
then went to Camp Wolters, Tex,
where he trained with an infantry
anti-tank company. His first cycle
evidenced his ability to keep up
with the youngsters. for he was Sc
lected to attend the preparatory
school for officer candidates. His
age barred him from becoming an
officer, however. He joined the 18th
Lightning Division in February and
has served in the supply room of the
309th Infantry since then.
The training program here is
much more modern and much more
thorough than that which 1 had
when I went overseas before" he
stated. Three months was all I
had on this side of the ocean before
landing in England"
His great-great-grandfather Will
liam served in the Revolutionary
War. He isn't sure just what rela-
tive served in the War of 1912. The
Civil War called his mothers father,
1t. Martin Tannehill, and several
of his fathers brothers were cav
alrymen. He had numerous cousins
in the Spanish-American War, and
he himself represented the family
in World War I.
