The One Story Bank On the Corner
Graphically Told To
Rotarians At Meeting
Iaast Thursday Noon.
Chairman for this month. Fred
O. Wiedman prevailed upon Major
Garnet    J.    Burlingame    of   Ann
Arbor to appear before the club
last Thursday, and for more than
an   hour   he   held   h's    listeners
spellbound as  he  recounted some
of his experiences.  A member of
the famous  Red Arrow Division.
he led the only battalion of. American troops that marched over the
Owen Stanley mountain range in
New    Guinea    as    a   preparatory
move to the attack upon Buna a
year ago.
As   a   member   of   the   Thirty-
second   (Red  Arrow)   divis'on,   he
related some
World   War
ably  carried in  the present   conflict. The  first  troops  to  land  in
the South Facific, his experiences
rivalled any exploit that has come
out of that theater until Tarawa.
That trip over the Owen  Stanley
mountains cost in killed, wounded
and missing 700 of the 900 men
who started on the trip.
All   of   the   above,   and   much
more   of   interest,   he   recounted
and all were pleased to have had
the honor  of listening to his re-
i cital.
