His letter in part follows: “Albert had been in this troop from the time of its activation on December, 1943. From that time on lie devoted his time and energy to help make the troop an outstanding one. For his help in this we are greatly appreciative. He served with us in the Admiralty Islands, and on Leyte, Samar, and Luzon islands. Albert always acquitted himself like a true Ameiicau soldier and because of this was an inspiration to the men who served with him. “On the 31st of March, Albert's platoon was given th§ mission of reinforcing a cavalry troop. Thi:« platoon was a light armored platoon consisting of armored cars. The Japanese ware .entrenched on the outskirts on the town of Calauoian, Luzon, P. I. This town w;is the road hub where aR of the vital roads in this sector'connected. The platoon, surrounded by dismounted cavalrymen, soon eliminated the enemy and were pursuing the few Japanese who wfee trying desperately to escape. At around 1530 hour the Japanese laid down a heavy artillery barrage. Albert was dismounted at the time and as he ran towards his vehicle was killed instantly by an enemy artillery shell. Albert was given a full military funeral and was buried in a military cemetery on Luzon, P. I.” Lt. Humphrey concluded his letter with the condolence, “I wish you to know that the officers and men of this troop grieve with you and appreciate the keenness of your loss.” o Trade in a Good Town — Decatur o
