Mr. ad Mrs. D. W. Lowrance, Route 1, have
been informed by official notice that their son, Cpl Homer W. Lowrance
was wounded in action in Holland, November 24.
Corporal Lowrance has been in the service since December 3, 1942
and has been overseas since February 1944. He serves with the Army

awarded the Purple Heart. He is reported to be making normal
improvement.

was employed by the Cleveland Tractor Company, Cleveland, Ohio.
Note: It is known that Cpl

various inconsistencies in the news article, it is impossible to
determine which unit he was in at the time of this wounding. |
