Spencer 166 West Center St. Dog Hero of Flying Figures In Big War ‘Goes West His Aviator Friends “You will be sorry to hear that Bobby died last evening. We are going to give him a military funeral.” The rest of the letter from Scotland does not interest me—my old pal and pet has died, writes Bernard Kaufman in the New York World. “Enemy machines reported approaching,” read the message that had been handed to me by the messenger, who had just entered the mess of the officers of “X” squadron, “somewhere in France,” and immediately all thought of the “full hand” that I held faded away and my duties took their place. “Boys, better fun than poker and greater excitement calls us,” and in less time than it takes to write, helmets and equipment were donned and we ran to the machines outside, where mechanics were already waiting to send us on our mission. “All ready, sir? Ignition.” And off I went, leading my squadron toward the German lines. I had only been flying a few moments, when I felt a movement at my feet, but the darkness prevented my seeing anything. A rat, I thought. Again the movement, then a low whine floated to my ears dimly between the thud of the engine. Suddenly out of the gloom of the night there loomed a flying form, then another and another—the enemy. It was a grim battle and our numbers were one to three. For forty minutes I fought single-handed. My observer was hit and lay unconscious behind me and I had been surrounded by the enemy and isolated from the rest of my squadron. I was beginning to think of the sins of my past life and to wonder if my dying fighting would win forgiveness in the world to come, when I felt another movement in the bottom of the fuselage and with the unmistakable bark of a dog, a large form placed two paws on the side of fuselage. The more the machine gun bullets flew around me, the more the dog barked, with seeming encouragement, and it was not until finally wounded and bleeding, I managed to fight my way out of the circle of I was attacked early home by a large Gerrish whose two man up a continual rain oo but the nearer the more Bobby barked his whole thrill, and even of high explosive case fair and square in went on yapping with me, looking at me again with a face that “Go to it, I am with me.

Anaheim Daily Herald Phone 540 JOB DEPARTMENT The Santa Ana Walnut Growers' Association received 2250 tons of walnuts this season, of which 1975 tons have been shipped. The crop was good, though somewhat rain damaged. One hundred and fifty men were employed for 46 days on 12-hour shifts to handle the season's output. How Bobby, as we named him, ever found his way into the fuselage of my machine and curling himself up there fell asleep, only being awakened after the flight had started, has never been discovered, but surmise had it that he was once the pet of a family who had been forced to leave him in their run from the enemy's approach. Whatever his past had been, this faithful St. Bernard dog covered himself with canine glory during the two years he flew, and during which time he was officially a member of the British flying corps, in recognition of his bravery and faithful service. "You are to take part in a raid over Dusseldorf," read the buff slip that some days after Bobby joined us, was handed to me. This meant leaving my squadron — and Bobby. Thoughts flashed through my mind and I realized that if I were to do my best I would have to have Bobby, my constant flying pal and friend, with me on this: the first long distance raid of the British, and as Bobby had been always in my machine; although he was considered as the pet of all, the rest of the officers agreed to allow me to take him. It was an eventful night for everyone who took part in the raid, and excitement was at its zenith, with one exception—Bobby. When I went to my machine before starting, Bobby was contentedly playing with a bone in the bottom of the fuselage and he continued to do this until we over Dusseldorf. Here the larger anti-aircraft guns sent their deadly missiles near and Bobby forsook his bone to take his customary place at the side of the pilot's seat, and to view things nonchalantly. Mrs. J. L. Haver was in Los Angeles, the guest of friends. At the Fullerton station was born to Mr. Mensch of Santa Fiora. At their stated night, the blue lodge the following officer the coming year: Master, W.

Some months later I crashed to earth another raid and Bobby was with me. I was a patient for many months in the hospital, but I would have been happy to be there forever, for at the side of my bed was another little "bed" with another "patient" suffering from injuries through the "crash," and it was the bark of this other patient that always gave me fresh courage to pull through from operations that the doctors thought would be fatal. "We are going to give him a military funeral." If a military funeral is the last tribute of a nation to a hero it will never be more appropriate than in this case, of my friend and pal, Bobby, the flying dog.
