Major Davis, home on leave after 14 months in the European theater, said there was a shortage of matches in his front-line dugout and as he inquired for a light, a man, indistinguishable from the other G.I's pulled out a silver lighter with \"Ernie Pyle\" engraved on it. Later, Ernie gave Davis the last of 25 cigarette lighters presented to the correspondent by an American manufacturing company as gifts to infantrymen. Davis still has the lighter. Major Davis often took Ernie to the front lines in a jeep and watched him passing among the soldiers, asking, \"What outfit are you in?\" and jotting down names and places and impressions in his little notebook.\" ","attribution":"Decatur Public Library, Decatur, IL.","license":"The Decatur Public Library owns and maintains all copyright on materials featured on omeka.decaturlibrary.org.

Sgt. Article on back of photo; \"Says England Will Cooperate; The attitude of the British toward the forthcoming peace program is described by Tech. Sgt. Leo Hopper, former assistant manager of the Lincoln theater, who is home on furlough after 32 months overseas, most of which was spent in London and Paris. 'The English would like to see an international program of peace enforcement set up,' Sergeant Hopped said. 'It probably ought to be some kind of improved  League of Nations, but with teeth in it. The British, I am sure, would be glad to do their part toward making such an international system effective. 'There would have to be an international police  force, and an international F.B.I. to keep a sharp watch for the enforcement of arms quotas, so we could sit on any country that gets out of line. The British, as near as I could gather, believe that such a program could be made to work. 'The robot bombs have made the British more determined to bring Germany to her knees and to put her in position where she never can do this again. It seems apparent that the robot bombings and other attacks on civilians in Germany's neighboring countries is a deliberate program of weakening those nations so that in the next war they will be able to offer less resistance to the German bid for world domination.;' Sergeant Hopper was much impressed by the seriousness with which the British are going about prosecuting the war. 'Everybody is drafted,' he said, 'and assigned to war jobs. they have been at this a long time, but display little evidence of feeling sorry for themselves. all goods are rationed, and while they have plenty to eat, the store shelves are not so full as those here. Not half so many automobiles are operating there as here, but there is much bicycling. One gets the impression of a well disciplined people who have set themselves to grimly seeing the job through.' Sergeant Hopper, who has been in the army three years and was 'resent' on numerous bombings and robot bomb attacks, is the son of Walter Hopper, 240 South Maffit street.\"","attribution":"Decatur Public Library, Decatur, IL.","license":"The Decatur Public Library owns and maintains all copyright on materials featured on omeka.decaturlibrary.org.

Leo Livingston, Negro steward second class, home from one year's duty overseas, reflected yesterday. 'I leave all thinking to my superior officers and just listen to orders.' Steward Livingston, son of Mr. and Mrs. James Livingston, 558 South Jackson street, wears the ribbons denoting service in the three war theaters, the Asiatic, Southwest Pacific and Mediterranean. 'we brought back German, Italian and Jap prisoners,' he said, 'and the Italians were the best bunch of prisoners I have ever seen.' Aussie Girls are Passengers; Steward Livingston's ship was the first ship to bring Jap prisoners back to the United States. 'Our commander, E. M. Doar, is a swell guy and all the fellows think he is tops,' he said. 'Along with other passengers on our ship were many wives of servicemen, a number of them Australian girls. the Australians, who are extremely friendly with us, have introduced American customs into their way of living. Many of them seem just like Decatur folks,' he said.  'Australian girls seem to like American humor as well as hamburgers and jitterbugging-and some of them are darn good jitterbugs too.' Boxing Main Sport; Entering service in September of 1941, the steward received training at Corpus Christie, Texas, Kingsville, Texas and Atlanta, Ga. He attended Decatur schools and was a member of the high school track and football teams in 1937-38. A sports enthusiast, he said 'About the only sports we can get in on board ship or at any of our ports is boxing. Besides, it's much too hot to play baseball in New Zealand or New guinea, two of the hottest spots in the world.' Steward Livingston who arrived home July 20, will report to San Francisco for his next assignment. 'Iv'e been half-way around the world and I'll probably see the other half soon-and I'll be back too,' he said grinning broadly.","attribution":"Decatur Public Library, Decatur, IL.","license":"The Decatur Public Library owns and maintains all copyright on materials featured on omeka.decaturlibrary.org.

Edgar E., Article on back of photo; \"Hero Has Four Fingers Left, Nicholls not Worrying About the Other Six; It's something like getting acquainted with a new friend, but Pfc. Edgar E. Nicholls of Decatur is rapidly becoming familiar with the artificial device that he uses as a substitute for the four fingers on his right hand, which were blown away in his heroic action on Luzon Island which saved the lives of two other soldiers. Edgar, who is now home for a visit with his mother, Mrs. W. G. Cropper, 309 West Prairie avenue, will return late this month to a Springfield, Mo., hospital for further treatment of his left hand. He lost the thumb and one finger of his left hand in the same action. Adept With Substitute; To one meeting Private Nicholls, the thought comes that he is greatly handicapped, which he is, without question. But, as conversation continues with him, one is amazed at his adept use of the artificial aid. He writes easily with a pencil or pen, deftly draqws papers from his billfold, and handles small coins or other contents of his pockets with little difficulty. Facetiously, he remarks that he has about come to the conclusion that the four fingers he used to have on his hand were just in the way.' The story of Edgar's heroism has been told previously, but may well be recalled at any time that unselfish bravery of members of the armed forces is discussed. Edgar was on guard, near a howitzer, on a steep bank in a flank position. His two buddies, sleeping nearby, were guard reliefs. Saved Buddies' Lives; The Japs managed to get near and hurled a demolition at the gun, according to a report of Edgar's field artillery battery commander. The demolition fell between the sleeping men and the gun. Edgar had a possible chance of escape without injury at the cost of the lives of his two buddies and probable destruction of the gun, which was vitally needed. Instead, he placed his helmet over the demolition and was attempting to place a full sandbag over it when the demolition exploded, mangling both of his hands. He was awarded the Silver Star Medal for 'extraordinary gallantry in action.' His other decorations include the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal and the South Pacific and Philippine invasion ribbons. During his period of hospitalization, he is writing a book, based upon his experiences in the war. Also, he is interested in radio script writing and has produced scripts which have been used over station KWTO in Springfield, Mo. He expects to receive his release about the first of the year and faces the future with admirable confidence.\" ","attribution":"Decatur Public Library, Decatur, IL.","license":"The Decatur Public Library owns and maintains all copyright on materials featured on omeka.decaturlibrary.org.

He got back home unscratched in 18 months of sea duty, which included participation in seven rads or 'occupation.s' The last, before getting his trip home for a 27-day leave, was the Leyte, Philippines, invasion. He wears the Asiatic theater ribbon for participation-on board a destroyer-in the Wake Island raid, the tough Rabaul raid of Nov. 11, 1943, the Gilbert and Marshall islands occupations, the New Guinea operation, the Marianas island occupation and the Philippines occupation. His ship was attached to that now famous 'task force 58,' but the dexterous destroyer never was hit. Members of the crews of the American ships had much fun with the Philippine natives who paddled out to the ships in canoes. Trinkets Wallisa's wife sent brought many friends among the natives, he said, other men getting like results with toothpaste, tooth brushes, soap and like articles. Many of the 'young' native girls \r\nare really beautiful', he said.  Petty Officer Wallisa, whose wife is the former Nadine Felter, an employee at the North Park Beauty shop, expects and wants to return to sea duty when he reports back to the Mare Island, Calif., navy base late this month.
