Died |
31 December 1944 | It is with deep regret that this Command has to announce the death of S/Sgt. Joe Alshelter, Jr. Sgt Altshelter was killed whilst on guard watch at a hardstand, by a propellor as the aircraft started to leave the hardstand to begin its taxi run. Once again, our men on the line are cautioned to be extra vigilant during this darkest of seasons. Look twice before stepping once.” | |
