} October 21, 1943 .
Mrs. C. A. Heath
Box 65, Nevada City, California.
Dear Mrs. Heath:
‘ Chaplain Ham gave me your let-. '
who must confirm unofficially the
news that the war department has
already given you.
Farrel was last seen going into a
dive to strafe, andhis’ guns were
blazing. His flight did not see him
again after the pull-vut. He was not,
when last seen, on fire or in trouble,
and the final moments are unknown
to us. Information was received that
he had been buried by the Germans
and identification was established.
Such events are routine and we
seldom spare time to be sad, but our
sense of loss for Farrel was not routine and our sadness was real and
deep. I knew*him wel): and had high
hopes for his future. ‘All of the pilots
were his friends. . Since you know
him and his modest and straight forward ways it is easy to understand
this. He had been promoted to 2nd
‘Lieutenant the day of his loss, and
was already being considered for his
mext promotion. He was a superio1
pilot and a good man on the ground.
The enlisted men of his squadron
asked about word from him constantly, though they are normally 1éss
concerned by such an event than the
pilots are.
I can only hope we, the
make his sacrifice a worth ‘while
thing, so that we can say the results
are good though the price paid was
very dear.
Sincerely,
MARK B. WAGNER,
Major, Air Corps, Commanding.

the following verses regarding
camp in Oregon: (
SOUTHWEST PARADISE
Somewhere in Central Oregon,
where the sun is like a curse
And each long day is followed iby
another, slightly worse,
Where the lava dust blows. thicker
than shifting desert sand,
And a soldier dreams and wishes for
the greener, fairer land,
ra easter
penned
his
Somewhere in Central Oregon where
a ‘girl is never seen.
Where the sky is never cloudy and
the grass is never geen,
Where the coyote’s nightly ‘howling
robs a man of blessed sleep,
Where there isn’t any whiskey and
the beer is. never cheap.
Somewhere in Central Oregon where
the nights were made for love,
Where the moon is like a beacon and
the glittering stars above
Sparkle like diamonds on a cold and
chilly night,
It’s a shameless. waste of beauty
when there’s not a girl in sight.
Somewhere ini Central Oregon where
the mail is always late,
And a . Christmas ecard in April is
considered up to date,
Where we never have a payday and
-never have a cent,
. But we never miss the money ‘cause
we never get it spent.
Somewhere in Central Oregon where
the ants and lizards play,
And a hundred fresh tidks replace
each one you slay,
So take me back to Kentucky to let
me live and dwell
For this Godforsaken place is a
substitute for Hell! —
