A most Interesting account of the experiences of Lt. Ed All worth of Corvallle, who was with the first wave of para troopers to land on Normandy on D-day, is contained in letters written by the officer to his wife, the former Jack! Flynn of Medford. Mrs. Allworth Is now In Corvallls with her parents-in-law. Major and Mrs. E. C. All- worth, and the following article concerning the paratrooper was published in a recent issue of the Corvallls Times-Gazette. "Lt. Allworth was with the first wave of paratroopers who Jumped on tho Norman penin sula on the night of June S, a few hours before the actual invasion of the beaches. First word re ceived by his wife, Jacki Flynn Allworth. and his parents, came on July 4 in a letter written after 11 days of heavy fighting. Wounded In Arm "Lt. Allworth reported that he had received a wound in his left arm which the doctor said would heal without any appreciable scar, although he did not men tion how serious the wound was. One of his later letters contained a copy of the special order show ing a 'battlefield promotion" to the rank of first lieutenant. "The Corvallis paratrooper broke the middle finger on his left hand in the behind-lines parachute jump and lost a cam era which ho had given to a fel low paratrooper just before the jump. His buddy was killed, and the camera wasn't found. He re lated that he landed in a swamp In the dark and lost all of his personal belongings and equip ment except his carbine, held above water In his right hand, a grenade, held in his left hand, and his commando knife, held in his teeth. Supplies Captured During the early days of fight ing his unit captured a car of German condensed milk and al so found some German coffee. He said they found local food in France quite abundant, being able to obtain French butter and many more eggs than in Eng land. From the constant fighting in fox-holes, the once agile para troopers have become stiff, sore and short of breath, he added. Most of the towns and villages in this sector, ho said, seem to be burled under about 10 feet of debris. "In his letter written on July 4, Lt. Allworth told of getting some athletic equipment, getting the kinks out of his joints and limbering up generally, indicat ing that he might now be out of the front lines for a time. "His unit received the war de partment distinguished service citation which entitles each in dividual to wear a special rib bon on the right breast of the service coat or blouse." Lt. Allworth is a son-in-law of Mr. and Mrs. Diamond Flynn, 1324 Queen Anne avenue, and the camera mentioned was one which Mrs. Flynn had given him to use. The lieutenant, a former student at Oregon State college, has many friends in this district. Mrs. Allworth is now attending summer session at the college but will come down to Medford later in the summer for a visit here. The officer had been In Eng land since the first of February.
