Guy Youngblood
Killed in Action
Nov 10, France
(1944?)

S-Sgt Guy Youngblood, son of Mrs. Letha Youngblood of Dallas, formerly of Ennis,
was killed in action in France, November 10, according to a message received
Tuesday evening by his mother.

Sgt. Youngblood, a fomer employee of the United Publishing Co, entered the
service about three years ago, and served overseas for ten months, spending a
furlough in Ennis in December 1943.  He served as tail and waste gunner during
fifty missions over Italy, Sicily, Africa, and France before coming back to the
States. He asked for overseas duty again, and was sent to France.  The last
letter received from him was November 4.

In Memory
The force of The Ennis Daily News pauses to pay tribute to Guy Youngblood, a
former employee of The News, who gave his life for his country.

Guy was well liked by all who knew him and The News force was grieved to learn
of his death. He completed over fifty missions over Europe prior to his last
visit home and it was at his own request tht he was returned to combat.  We are
proud to have known and worked with Guy as it is fine young Americans like this
that enable our country to remain free.
