PHIL DOMINICK EXPECTED HOME
Taken From Front Lines In Italy and Will Be “Fattened Up”

Mr. and Mrs. John Dominick received some good news from the Italian war front Saturday. It was a letter from their son, S/Sgt. Phil Dominick, who informed his parents that he would be home within two months.

He said that he was out on the battle front with a patrol unit, and was called from duty. He was informed that he was going home but before making the trip would be “fattened up” a little. He lost much weight on the firing front and who wouldn’t? Phil has been there since the Americans moved in.
