P: 0.525 c/o Postmaster New York, Nica Ms } 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. Homesick Soldier—\ A homesick soldier has 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! — VITAL STATISTICS \ KIBLILEY=-In “Nevada City, Nevada County, November 7, 19438, to} Lieut. and Mrs. John Kelley; of ‘amp Beale, a son.
