Army Colonel To Tell ETO Experiences
By BETTY ROBERTSON
“If you can keep your sense of
humor overseas, you’re all right,”
says tall, gray-haired Lt. Col.
James Conville who will speak at
the ASUO assembly Thursday in
McArthur court on postwar gov
ernment in Germany.
“There was once in St. Lo when
I was dashing to a ditch for pro
tection against point-blank artil
lery fire that I stumbled into a
mass of telephone wires on the
ground, became completely caught
in them and couldn’t get out to
save my life. Then a couple of
Jerry planes came over strafing,
and I swear the only reason they
didn’t shoot at me was because
they thought I was dead. The other
fellows yelled that I’d see it
through and not to worry. Yes, a
sense of humor is a great thing.”
Four Stars
He wears four oampaign stars on
his ETO ribbon and took part with
the first army in the campaigns in
England, Normandy, Belgium, Lux
embourg, Holland, and Germany.
“I didn’t stay in any one place
very long,” he said. “We set up
A.M.G. (American Military Gov
ernment) organizations in the
towns and left someone else to do
the job.”
After serving in the European
theater of operations for more than
two and a half years, Col. Con
ville returned to the United States
two months ago, and is expecting
a discharge soon. He will then re
turn to his home in Astoria, where
he was formerly city manager.
Col. Conville took part in World
War I and retained his reserve
commission until September 14,
1940, when he was again called into
