CAPT. CULLITON
 EXPECTED HOME
Former Local Curate Has Served Over Two Years
 in South Pacific

Captain John F. Culliton, former curate at St. Thomas church here who has been with the Army Chap lain Corps in the Southwest Pacific over two years, is coming home soon, but it is very doubtful if he will arrive in time for Christmas.
 Captain Culliton, son of Mrs. Catherine Culliton of 51 Merriman street, Bristol, was serving St. Thomas church here when he en- listed. He has been Catholic chap lain for special troops of the fa- nous 43rd Division, but during the Munda campaign when Captain Neil Doyle former curate at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament here, was killed, Captain Culliton voluntarily took over his duties ur1- til successor could be appointed. Scores of Bristol men served in the same group with Captain Culliton, whose herois1n in the New Georgia campaign was mentioned promi- nently in an article written for a national magazine by a war corres- oOo4S1lC0 IO Il4dV DdOG1C.
 Also coming home with Captain Culliton are Sgt. John P. McEnany son of MT. and Mrs. John c. Mo Enany of Terryville, and Cpl. Ore dor A. (Ben) Martel, sen of MT. and Mrs. Albert Martel of 45 Race street, Bristol The latter is very well known locally having caught with several baseball teams in the City Amateur League.
 Both young soldiers have been overseas more than two years and for Sgt. McEnany it will be the first time he has been home since he entered the Army in May of 1922 McEnany was employed in civilian life by the New Departure in Bris- tol as was Martel.
 According to letters received this week the tio are at a rotation base awaiting transportation back to the United States. Their letters were dated December 1.
