Russell Raines of 408 North Olive Street, Sullivan, Indiana, is a member of this Air. Force unit, and is now privileged to wear the
Meritorious Service Unit insignia
as the result of this command being recently cited by General Carl Spaatz, Commanding General of the United States Strategic Air Forces in Europe. The Meritorious Service Unit Plaque was awarded to the 70th Reinforcement Depot (AAF), and praises the ' efficiency demonstrated by the organization in receiving and assigning to duty all Air Force reinforcement personnel from the States as well as perfecting the procedure for redeploying Air Force personnel upon com-
rains, jungle terrain and continual enemy fire. It also called attention to the fact that when an outbreak of ecrub typhus occurred within the division, the battalion operated as a 400-bed hospital to treat victims. "The entire personnel of the battalion willingly labored exceedingly long hours to insure constant and superior nursing care for the seriously ill patients," the citation added. On Luzon, superior medical service has been available for division casualties during the entire campaign, the citation noted.
IN HOSPITAL Mrs Kenneth Conner left Thursday evening for Memphis, Tenn., to visit her husband, Sgt. Kenneth Conner, who is confined to the Kennedy General Hospital there. Sgt. Conner was returned to the states Aug. 1 from England, where he had been confined to a hospital since being wounded May 2 in' Germany.
