Notes About N.E. Iowans in the Service.

Ackley—Mrs. William Wright, Jr., received a message Sunday from the War Department saying that her husband, Pvt. William Wright Jr., had been slightly wounded in action in France on Nov. 13.  William was inducted into the army Feb. 28, 1944, and trained at Camp Roberts, Cal., and the last of August was transferred to Camp Meade, Md., from where he was sent overseas. He has two brothers in the army, Pfc. Oliver S. Wright, in the engineers corps, who has been overseas since September, 1943, and Pvt. Donnol L. Wright in training at Camp Van Dorn, Miss.
