We didn't go far though, when we suddenly ran into a trap, the Germans had the road cut we were on. This was still tougher than the night before, I got out of the mess but was slightly wounded. I wasn't wounded bad, and was able to remain on duty."

Pfc. Albert Molzberger son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Molzberger who is stationed with the US Army at Los Angeles, California wrote home that all is good just staying busy.
Pfc. Louis Molzberger, 36, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Molzberger of Luckenbach, is currently back home with his parents on a thirty-day leave, after having spent 29 months with U. S. Army forces in the steaming jungles of India and Burma.
The Gillespie verteran of the China-Burma-India command, was a combat engineer and saw lots of action in the Burma area where he helped build the Ledo Road and thus open the route for the overland transportation of vital war supplies to our Chinese allies.
In addition to being an engineer, Pfc. Molzberger manned a 50 caliber machinegun and served as an airport guard to keep the enemy from our precious cargo planes.
One of the things than impressed the Gillespie Countian, who helped his dad on the farm before entering service, was the starvation and suffering he saw among the natives in India. People here at home, he said, had no conception of conditions under which these people lived.
Pfc. Molzberger entered the service on November 11, 1942 and served at Ft. Sam Houston, Camp Clalborne, La., and Camp Anza, California before leaving for overseas service on January 20, 1943.
Like Master Sgt. Alois Jenschke, with whom he returned from India, Molzberger has made a trip around the world, going to India via New Zealand, Australia and returning by way of the Atlantic.
Molzberger wears the Asiatic Pacific Ribbon, the Army Good Conduit Medal and two battlestars. on expiration of his furlough he will report for further duty at Ft. Sam Houston, Texas.
Mr. Monday was a Naval Officer during World War II serving mostly in the Southwest Pacific under the command of Adm. Barbee’s Amphibious Force, also known as "MacArthur’s Navy".
