Herald and Review Library: Harlan, Lieut. Orville; Article on back of photo; "Officer Is Home, Lieut Harlan Has Praise for Medics. Lieut Orville Harlan, who came home this month in a litter aboard a C-57 from the First Army spearhead, say the incision in his foot is what the fellows back at the front call a 'million-dollar wound.' All it bothers him, he says, is that it keeps him sitting around when he would like to be on the go. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Orville Harlan, 533 West Prairie avenue. It was at Hurtgen forest, Lieutenant Harlan recalls, the he got tangled up in some grenades. That is about all he offers to say about it, but all evidence points to the fact that he was way out there in front on infantryman duty when either and German or Yank grenade caught him in the foot."
