TOM TAMS TELLS
EXPERIENCE ON
INVASION CRAFT
Tom Tarns, torpedoman's
mate, second tlass, participated
in the June 6 invasion of France
as a crew member of the Mc
Cook, one of three destroyers
which shelled the coast during
the early hours of the invasion.
Tarns, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. C.
Tarns, 219 South Holly street,
has since written his parents
that he came through the battle
without injury and that "it
wasn't as bad as I expected."
The part played by the three
destroyers was described in the
July 8 issue of the Saturday
Evening Post, the writer having
been aboard the McCook. The
McCook's first task as the battle
opened was elimination of a pill
box with six-foot thick concrete
walls. The destroyed fired 250
rounds in 25 minutes, the report
states, and during two days of
continuous fighting the ship de
stroyed three major assigned
targets and ten "targets of op
portunity." Torpedoman Tarns wrote that
his copy of the Tribune arrives
regularly, in spite of battles and
invasions, and he commented on
the news of the contemplated
swimming pool, which he hopes
will be built by the time he
comes back to Medford to stay.
Copies of the paper are like let
ters from home, tho young man
wrote. He has been in the navy

graduating from Medford senior
high school.

his son, Cpl. William E. Davis,
military prisoner of the Japa
nese in the Philippine Islands,
was received yesterday by E. R.
Davis, Box 428, Route 2, Joe
Jack Road. The card was a
printed form, with both Japa
nese and English printing, and
carried a typewritten message
from the corporal, signed in his
own handwriting. The message
came from Philippine Military
Prison Camp No. 4, near Manila.

folks Just to let you know I
am well. Please notify everyone
of my address and be sure and
write via Red Cross." This is the
second such message received by
Mr. Davis, the last coming last
November. In the past, Mr.
Davis has been informed that
tho prisoners were receiving no
mail, but upon receipt of the
card, immediately wrote thru
the Red Cross, as instructed.
Cpl. Davis was taken prisoner
when Corregidor fell. He has
been in the army about 10 years
and at the time of the battle of
the Philippines, was in an anti
aiieraft division. He has three
brothers in the service, one in
the navy and two in the army.
Cpl. Davis also has several rela
tives residing in Medford and
vicinity at present.
