General Commends If. Grube Outfit Former Prosecutor Writes To Friends An interesting letter, dated March 25. received by friends from Id. Harry Grube, former Adams county prosecuting attorney, now : lationed in lite Philippine.-, reads in part: “I am enclosing a copy of a letter of commendation that we received from General Kruger. The (olonol was so proud of it that he directed that it be reproduced and a copy given to every man in I lie 34th infantry regiment. He then secured permission for us to mail, it home. I was able to secure an extra copy and thought you might be interested in it. We are really quite proud of it as General Krug, r has a wide reputation for not saying anything good or bad unless he means it. “The citation tells only part of the story and the regulations haven't been relaxed to permit one to say where else we have been, but we have been several plac n s. The regiment now holds several first places. We have been in continuous combat with the enemy for a longer period than any other organization in this theater. Before the campaign referred to in the citation we fought them for 78 consecutive days. We were the first American troops to return to Bataan, also the first to land in the Philippines. Our truly greatest ambition is to be the first to land in the U. S. when the war ends.” Following is the commendation in part: “Upon the release of the 34th infantry regiment from the sixth army, I desire to express to yon and to the officers and men of the regiment my personal appreciation and official commendation for the

very effective manner in which the regiment carried out its assignments in the I4IZOII campaign. . “Fighting with skill, courage and great gallantry over the .difficult terrain of historic Bataan, Zamb;les and on Corregidor, the 34th infantry regiment has added greatly to its already fine combat record and contributed 'materially to the success of the operations of Sixth Army. As the regiment, leaves my command, I wish to each of its members godspeed and good luck. Lt. Grube has been in the service since 1942.
