A. Waldron have received word that their nephew, Raymond C. Dettrick, a former York county boy, was wounded when landing on one of the islands in the South Pacific. The commander of an amphibious tank which carried marines ashore, Platoon Sgt. Dettrick wrote his wife, who lives in Oakland, California, that the Japanese had cannon hidden in caves along a 100 foot cliff which rose above the landing beach. "Those guns were looking straight down our throats." He was wounded in one arm, between the elbow and wrist and is now in the hospital but the injury came from the bullet of a sniper as he was pushing inland after landing. Sgt. Dettrick's brother, Earl Dettrick lives at Bradshaw and his mother, Mrs. Josephine Dettrick is living at Potter.
