"Proke," as he is called by the
boys in the band, started his musical
career on violin, taking lessons from
his dad. His musical ear was con-
tinually attracted by the genius of
Buster Bailey, wizard of the clarinet,
and before long Proke had switched
to clarinet. His early ambitions were
soon ealized when he joined
Fletcher HenderSon'S Orchestra, at
that time the nations greatest band,
and became member of that great
reed section which included his
idol" Buster Bailey, as well as
Coleman Hawkins, and Hilton JEFF
ferSon. He also did tWo-year stint
with the late Chick Webb, king of
the drums.
While with Chick, Procope met
and worked together with John
Kirby, who was later to form one
of the finest small combination"
ever known to the show world.
"Proke' joined John Kirbys Band
in 1888 and travelled from coast to
coast, and border to border, playing
the best spots in the nation. Their
recordings have been best sellers in
all record shops and on. juke boxes
for many years and they have been
featured on several commercially
sponsored radio shows as well as the
nations leading theaterS.
Procope has a brother, Cpl. Will
liam Procope, serving overseas with
a quartermaSter outfit somewhere
in Germany. "Proke" is married and
still considers New York City his
home. The Post Band welcomes this
great addition to their outfit and
has already begun to present him
in feature solo spots.

Sic Elmer Puckett
Signal Corps Photo

-OlSIldl corps PHOCO
Not many men can boast of hav-
ing done and seen the things that
Seaman Puckett has in not quite 19
years. All of his time in the service
with the exception of the time he
took boot training at the San Diego
Naval Training Station has been
spent on the high seas.
His first assignment was aboard
the U.S.S. Doyen and sailing from
Pearl Harbor, he took part in the
invasion of Tarawa Going in at
D plus one, Puckett states that the
going was still tough. After this bat
tie, he returned to Pearl Harbor
while his ship was overhauled.
1t was during this time that. he
was transferred to the ship he now
serves on and has been in five other
major invasions aboard her.
Puckett, who accompanies the
small boats to the beach-headS, is
always in the thick of the battle as
he assists in getting troops landed.
Among the other invasionS in which
he participated are the Marshall
Islands, Saipan, Tinian, Leyte and
Luzon. All of these invasions have
been the major ones in Gen. Mac
Arthur'S victorious march which
brings us closer to the shores of
Japan proper daily.
The Marshall Islands invasion
saw him go into the beach in the
second wave; Tinian, it was the
third wave on D-day; Luzon, he
landed one and one-half hours after
H-hour.
"As we landed during the Saipan
campaign, we were caught on the
beach under the whitening fire from
the. JapS on Tinian. For a while it.
was the hottest place I've ever seen
on earth as shells were sailing over
head and landing all around us.
Even though many of my shipmates
were wounded, was fortunate
enough not to receive a scratch
states Puckett and names this as
his most exciting experience.
Seven and one-half months ago.
while his ship lay in port at Pearl
Harbor, Elmer was lucky enough to
meet his twin brother, Delmer, who
is also in the Navy and aboard ship
somewhere in the Pacific. He has
two other brothers in the Army.
Oral, sergeant serving in Holland
and who was the recipient of the
Purple Heart recently, and Roy,
corporal now somewhere in Ger
many.
Sic Puckett wears a campaign
ribbon bearing three battle stars for
the Philippines, one with three stars
also for the Asiatic-Pacific cam
paign, and the American Defense
ribbon. He is the son of Mrs. Bessie
Puckett, with whom he is spending
his 25-day leave, and was employed
at the Post Plumbing shop for two
years prior to his enlistment
Among the souvenirs he has is
Japanese flag bearing several bullet
holes, which he secured during the
Tinian campaign.
