Captures Japs: With the 38th (Cyclone) Division on Luzon: It's an old Japanese custom to celebrate Hirohito's birthday on April 3. But Jap troops in this area didn't have much time to celebrate this year—they were too busy dodging American bullets. One party of six had such intentions, but it only led them into an ambush set up by a patrol of which Pvt. Herbert H. Ehlerding of Decatur, Ind., was a member. The liman patrol captured the lot, and tlie party-minded Japs’ celebration will now be limited to the confines of a prisoner-of-war stockade —ami minus the plentiful Saki wine and ride they carried. Pvt. Ehlerding, a member of Company B, 152nd Infantry, saw acion in his regiment's 16-day battle fol- Zig Zag Pass, east of Olongapo. For his participation in this battle, he was awarded the Combat Infantry Badge, and he is already the holder of the American Defense Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Philippine Liberation Medal and Asiatic-Pacific Theater Medal.
