Jennings 23 May 1952 - (Picture Included) - (From Allen Advocate) - Early last week a tragic bit of new was given some circulation around Allen. Several people received letters from their loved ones in Korea to the effect that Lt. Harold L. Jennings had been killed. Then later in the week, an official notification came to Mrs. Crawford Johnson from the Department of the Army which stated definitely that the news was true. The letter was dated April 29. It recited that Lt. Jennings met his death on April 22. The official letter did not provide any of the details of the tragedy, but contained the promise tat a more complete account would be forthcoming. Feeling sure that the official report of Lt. Jennings' death will not greatly contradict the hearsay stories, the Advocate has decided to print such details as are available. The information, now at hand, explains the tragic happening as follows: Lt. Jennings and three more men went out at 2:30 p.m. to make a reconnaissance (or investigation) of the battle-torn ground which lay between the American lines and those of the Communist. For two hours and a half they probed and scouted without any challenge from the enemy and without any other disturbing incident. At about 5:00 p.m. the man ahead of Lt. Jennings trampled the exploding mechanism of a well-concealed mime. He was instantly killed. The man behind Jennings screamed out in pain. Seeing that the fellow in advance of his was beyond help, Jennings threw down the maps he was carrying and turned to give aid to the man behind him. Is so doing he tripped an unseen wire which exploded another mine. The second explosion killed Jennings and the other man who was closest to him. The fourth man in the party was injured by the second blast and was left alive to tell how all of it happened. Harold Loyd Jennings was a graduate of Allen high school and was well known and well liked here. He had been made a first lieutenant not long ago and also had recently signed up for thee years more of duty. He was slated to become commander of the company with which he was connected. On the strength of his recent assignment he had written to his wife requesting that she come to Japan to remain until his further orders. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. June Jennings of Clare, his mother, Mrs. Beulah Honson, Allen; father, Fred Jennings, California; three brothers, Freeman and Tony Jennings, both of New Braunsfel, Texas, and Ramsey Johnson, Allen; four sisters, Mrs. Patsy Vinson, Frances Jennings, Lois and Doris Johnson, all of Allen. (Mrs. Jennings is the former Miss June McNeely of Clare.) ************************************************************************************* Obituaries: Dr. Willis D.
