Student Fought
With 100 Div.
Pfc. Bernard Dougharty of Abilene, a
member of the 100th division in Ger-
many, was recently honored with a bio-
graphical sketch in the last issue of the
Regimental Review, weekly division
newspaper. The sketch, a regular feature
of the Review entitled-Man of the Week,
was entitled Last Man of the Week when
Dougharty's sketch appeared. The divi-
sion is being deactivated.
The article as it appeared: "Why an
ordained minister and still a Pfc? Well
i is a long story. .. . That is about as
far as we got with Charlie's company's
fighting preacher, Pfc. Bernard Dough-
arty. Those in the company who didn't
see much of Dougharty were a bit sur-
prised last winter to hear someone an-
nounce that religious services were being
held for the battalion in a make-shift
chapel in one of the 60-story pillboxes of
the Maginot line. And Dougharty doesn't
mind admitting that he never hopes to
preach in a more unusual place. But he
doesn't say that the good Lord keeps His
preachers from getting hit once in a while
for he himself wears the Purple Heart
-with a cluster."
Dougharty plans to return to H-SU
after he is discharged to complete two
more years lof work before going to the
Seminary. He hopes to be home early
in 1946.

tank traps, dragons teeth, road blocks,
and the Roer river as a natural barrier,

'37, who was commanding officer of the
headquarters battery of the 327th field
artillery with the division, and battalion
communications officer.

the Army, was assigned to the 84th divi-
sion when he completed artillery officers
candidate school Dec. 24, 1942, and re-

torious service in maintaining communi-
