l.a t Thursday morning Mr. and
Mrs. J. L. Castleberry received a
wire from the War Department re-
porting their son, Lt. Mack Castle-
berry, was missing in action in
Germany since April 2. Friday
morning they received a letter
from Lieutenant Castleberry, writ-
ten April (I, four days after he was
reported missing, stating he had
received leg wounds and was in a
hospital. This news heartened
Mr. and Mrs. Castleberry, although
they were concerned about their
son's wound.
Tuesday of this week they re-
ceived a letter, dated April 15,
written .from his base hospital.
Kxrerpts from the letter follow:
"1 have finally reached a place
where 1 can hang my hat. Took a
plane ride from Paris to Great
ltritain and am in a hospital some-
where in the vicinity of Liverpool.
It took two plane rides, two train
rides, and a '1,000' ambulance
hops to get here. Nice here. Had
a coke day before yesterday. Good
doctors and friendly nurses. Had
a body cast until yesterday, all
gone now and a traction set-up ap-
plied.
"That sniper bullet fractured
left femur. The wounds have al-
ready closed. All 1 can do is lie
around for a couple of months and
give it a chance to knit. Pm
.stretched out in a full prone, writ-
ing in mid-air.
"F.D.R.'s death is a great trag-
edy to us all. Radio full of it over
here."
Lieutenant Castleberry, who re-
ceived a bullet wound in the same
leg in January, was an infantry
platoon leader in the 03nd Division
and had been in action since De-
cember.
