LAS YOU PROBABLY know
we shipped out of New Guinea
sometimes in, early November,
1914; landed in Leyte, and re-
ceived orders to move inland to
prevent any Jap forces from ad-
vancing west from Osmac. We
fought for % days across noun
tains and without food for five
days. On that 23rd day, Dec. 10,
1914, things were beginning 20
clear, and ii wouldn't have been
long before we moved out for a
rest. That morning the squad in
which Lorne was a part was
picked TO guard ration-carry-
ing party from the drop zone
where planes supplied us.
"On the return trip the
squad was met with intense
enemy machinegun and NOR
tar fire. They made their way
to cover, one man being seri-
Ously wounded. That man was
Lorne's best friend. Perhaps
you remember him from your
visit. His name was Hessel-

LORE rushed to his aid and
tried dragging him to cover,
when Lerne received bullet
through the upper left side of
his chest, piercing his lung.
