Edgar Enger Is Awarded Bronze Star Richard and Charles Enger and their mother of 817 North Lemon street are mighty proud of their father and husband, and rightly so, for Col. Edgar E. Enger has recently been awarded the Bronze Star medal for bravery and meritorious service by Maj. Gen. Louis A. Craig, XXth corps commander. Ken Yorba Discharged from Army Many Campaigns in Africa and Europe After three and a half years in the service without a single furlough T-5 Ken Yorba is home and discharged from the army and along with his discharge papers he has seven campaign ribbons, the Good Conduct medal and the Bronze Star medal. Yorba left the United States in October, 1942, and landed with the U.S. army engineers in Africa on Nov. 8, 1942. From a personal view point he thinks the Tunisian campaign was the toughest of them all, and he can still shudder when he thinks of the heat and the sandstorms on the great desert. His outfit, the 15th division of engineers of the Ninth infantry was an amphibious force and after the Tunisian campaign he landed with them in Sicily. Afterward he was hospitalized in England for five months as the aftermath of a non-combat injury sustained in the beginning of the African battle. By the time he was out of the hospital D-day was already a reality and two weeks after that eventful date with history he landed in Normandy with the 368th Engineers of the Sixth special brigade. He saw plenty of action on the Cherbourg peninsula and his outfit was highly commended for the way it laid railroad tracks in the fight for vital supply routes. Then he moved on to Belgium, Holland and the Rhineland. Yorba was in Kassel, Germany, on VE-day and the Germans he saw were glad the war was over and disgusted with their military leaders for the way they let their country be devastated in a hopeless fight. Cox'n Brian Huson Back Home From Okinawa Cox'n Brian Huson, Uturned last week from and is enjoying a 15-d with his parents, Mr. Brian Huson of 828 South delphia street. He has pleted his second tour of the Pacific and this last overseas for 15 months. Amphibious force he has pated in nine major battles among other citations Presidential Citation. At pletion of his leave he port to Portland, Ore., for assignment. His sister, Mrs. Bill Gernerly Ruth Huson) has with her young son, Ja visit with him at her home. Their home is in Mich., and they expect the remainder of the suethe southland. Richard and Charles Enger and their mother of 817 North Lemon street are mighty proud of their father and husband, and rightly so, for Col. Edgar E. Enger has recently been awarded the Bronze Star medal for bravery and meritorious service by Maj. Gen. Louis A. Craig, XXth corps commander. Col. Enger is finance officer of the headquarters "ghost" corps that spearheaded the Third army thrust across France and that captured the fortress city of Metz on Nov. 19, 1944. The corps then sent its armor-tipped columns into the Saar-Moselle triangle and seized the key communications city of Trier. Next, in one of the decisive battles in the campaign for southwestern Germany the corps crossed the Saar river and smashed into the anchored flank of the Seigfried line with the result that after three days of furious fighting the famous strongpoint was uncovered. The "ghost" corps then raced across the Palatinate, forced crossings over the Rhine and succeeded in reaching the suburbs of Chemnitz before it was ordered to change its direction of attack southward. The arc of the corps' advance across the Danube river ended with the meeting of the Red army in the vicinity of Enns, Austria. 26 Months in Combat Zone and Not a Shot Fired Cpl. Howard E. Geurin of 700 South Helena street, and his buddies in the 550th field artillery battalion have a "different" kind of a story to tell and they are challenging any organization to beat its mark. It's a hard-luck story for the battalion has neither rated newspaper headlines nor battle stars for the 26 months it has spent in combat zones. In fact the battalion wasn't required to fire a round and thereby hangs the sad tale. Formerly the Second battalion of the 30th field artillery regiment, the 550th missed out on battle participation stars by six degrees latitude once and again by six days and six miles. And the worst of it all, one star would put many members over the critical 85-point score, and two stars would not be able to take part in action on the Cherbourg peninsula and his outfit was highly commended for the way it laid railroad tracks in the fight for vital supply routes. Then he moved on to Belgium, Holland and the Rhineland. Yorba was in Kassel, Germany, on VE-day and the Germans he saw were glad the war was over and disgusted with their military leaders for the way they let their country be devastated in a hopeless fight. He was awarded the Bronze Star for bravery and meritorious service in the North African campaign, but so fast did he move that it was over a year before the decoration caught up with him. When Yorba came home to his wife and 8-year-old daughter, Barbara, who reside at 220 North Philadelphia street, he had 122 points chalked up to his credit on the army discharge point system. He is a graduate of the Fullerton union high school and after that he attended Notre Dame university for a year. Prior to entering the army he was employed at the Anaheim Union Water company. Entering the army on Feb. 10, 1942, he took his basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo. and from there went to the army engineer's specialist school, at Fort Belvoir, Va.. Still later he went to Ft. Bragg, N.C. and it was from there that he shipped overseas. Yorba arrived home just in time for the 26 months it has spent in combat zones. In fact the battalion wasn't required to fire a round and thereby hangs the sad tale. Formerly the Second battalion of the 30th field artillery regiment, the 550th missed out on battle participation stars by six degrees latitude once and again by six days and six miles. And the worst of it all, one star would put many members over the critical 85-point score, and two stars would entitle 80 per cent of the battalion to discharges. The battalion went to Kodiak, Alaska in June, 1942, and there became the most heavily armed artillery unit in existence, but not a round of shots were fired. Upon its return to the United States in April, 1944, the outfit was redesignated and the artillerymen trained infantry troops for the big pushes in the ETO, then went to Europe in March, 1945. Security and military government duties around Simmern, Germany, occupied their attention through VE-day. Again no gun was fired and the men found themselves on the "wrong side" of the Rhine for a battle star. The only good thing about it all is that the outfit is now enroute home. HAS ARMY DISCHARGE Pfc. Charles Arnold has arrived home from the European theater of operations and has been given his honorable discharge. His wife, the former Faye McWilliams, and their child, Charlee, have been making their home with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. L. McWilliams of Cypress during the year and a half he was overseas. Besides his campaign ribbons, Pfc. Arnold wears the Purple Heart, the Bronze Star, and the Silver Star for participation in five battles. He has been in the service seven years. ed from Army After Africa and Europe to see his sister, Wac Pvt. Margaret Leanore Yorba Wade, before she took off for basic training at Ft. Des Moines, Ia. She is the first woman in the illustrious Spanish-land grant family to enter the armed forces. Their father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Yorba, reside in Placentia and are a well known county pioneer family. The first Yorba, Cpl. Jose Antonio Yorba, of Barcelona, Spain, arrived in California in 1769. Brian Huson Back Home From Okinawa Cox'n Brian Huson, USNR, returned last week from Okinawa and is enjoying a 15-day leave with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Brian Huson of 828 South Philadelphia street. He has just completed his second tour of duty in the Pacific and this last time was overseas for 15 months. With an amphibious force, he has participated in nine major battles and among other citations wears a Presidential Citation. At the completion of his leave he will report to Portland, Ore., for further assignment. His sister, Mrs. Bill Greer, formerly Ruth Huson) has arrived with her young son, Jackie, for a visit with him at her parents' home.
