“This is my third campaign and
it’s the toughest,” Private First
Class James R. Wesson, son of m. <
and Mrs. James R. Wesson, Cole-
man, told a public relations officer
on Leyte recently. |
Pfc. Wesson is a machine gunner ,
with the First Cavalry Division and ,
previously fought in the New Brl- |
tain campaign and at Aitape. "I’ve j
had my share of doing away with ,
the Nips in those other places but i
not as much as here in the Philip- ;
pines,” he declared.
In addition to his machine gun
duties Wesson is sent out on patrols
searching out the Jap lairs. The
Japs, are usually well entrenched
and concealed so that a scout "has
a hard time finding them but you j
sure can smell them.”
Wesson entered the service in
November 1942, trained at Camp
Roberts, Calif., and went overseas
,’in March 1943. He has been in the
present outfit for 21 months. “It’s
the best fighting outfit to ever hit
the Japs and I’m sure glad to be
with it,” Pfc. Wesson added.
The soldier was a truck driver be-
fore the war and wants to return
to his old jdb when the war is ov-

‘Wt’ve done the same in our family, too,
Judge. We figure the more we buy...the
better we equip our men.,. the quicker
.they'll finish their big job and come march-
ing home again.”
“ That’s thespirit, Josh. And let’s be sure of
one more thing. Let’s be sure that they come
back to the same kind of{ilace they left.While
they are away and can’t express their-opinions,
let's not make any decisions on things that
are going to concern them in years tocome.”
♦'Adding another War Bead to your
collection, eh, Judge?”
“Yes, Josh, I’ve alwaya looked upon
buying Bonds as one of the beat ways cider
folks like me here at home can help our
fighting men overseas. For the past couple
of years I’ve put every extra cent I had
into them .. . not only during the War
Bond drives...but on a regular basis. Of
course, when there's a drive on 1 always
try to buy an extra one or two.”
