Newspaper clippings about local servicemen, World War I
Three newspaper clippings pasted onto a loose scrapbook page. Text: "Athena boys who are members of Bat. D. 148th F.A. are Edward Sebasky, George Winship, Sam Starr and Harry Keller. George Winship is not with the battery, having been transferred to hospital on account of illness, and is now scheduled for early return." "Boys of 63rd Home. Allie Bell and Herbert Parker, of Co. B, 63rd Infantry, are home, discharged from the service. They come from Baltimore, Md. where their regiment has been stationed for some time, to Camp Lewis where they received their discharge. Orginally the boys were in Co. L, but later were placed in Co. B. The 63rd, considered to be one of the crack regiments of the army did not have the opportunity to participate in overseas duty." "Dick Winship at Home. Dick Winship arrived in Athena this morning from Camp Lewis, coming by way of Walla Walla and arriving on the 7:45 train. Dick's homecoming was the occasion of rejoicing among his friends as his condition has been the cause of much anxiety. He was a member of Co. G. 306th Infantry, 77th Division and saw service on the front from his entrace into France, going through the Argonne and all subsequent battles, up to the signing of the armistice. Soon after this he accidentally received a broken leg, and ever since has been in a hospital. His is now recovered and able to walk, and thoroughly glad to get home."
