KEWANNA MAN CONFINED TO HOSPITAL IN ENGLAND
Pvt. Wilbur D. Reed, 22, of route 2, Kewanna, was cooking his supper over the flames of a gasoline torch near a town in Germany when a shell wrecked his improvised kitchen and wounded him in the arm. He is now recovering at the 185th General hospital in England.
Pvt. Red said: "We were held up on the outskirts of this town, waiting for infantrymen to clean the streets. Jerry was shelling with artillery and rockets, so we pulled our vehicle out into an open field away from the road.
"I was cooking my chow over a gasoline torch when the shell hit only a few feet away and fragments hit me in the arm and wrecked my stove. Medical aid soldiers found me a few minutes later and carried me to the aid station."
Wilbur is the son of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Reed of the Kewanna address. His brother, Dwight, is serving in the Army. Pvt. Reed entered service in March 1943, and was trained at Fort Custer, Mich., and Fort Lewis, Wash.
