I am hand transcribing this information in the hopes of getting this one page of newspaper into the hands of a family member of one of the people mentioned in this article. This is the second of four columns. Time only allows so much typing per day.
It was published June 6, 1944 in THE GREENVILLE PIEDMONT newspaper (Greenville, SC). These are soldiers that served during WWII. Thank you for your service.
My end goal is to get this page of the paper into the hands of a relative of someone mentioned OR maybe if a business still exists that is advertised....get it to the owners. It's only 1 page, so I can only get it to one person. But my wish is that the paper will be treasured and preserved.
The page in which all this information is included is also the front page of the paper.
This is a small scan of part of the front page
