<strong>Corp. Philipp Marty Home From India</strong>
Corp. Phillip Marty arrived home on Sunday having completed his Army service of 38 months. He has 39 points.
Phillip entered service in January 1943, and received training at Carlton College, Minnesota, for one year and at Garden City, Kansas, for eight months. For four more months he was on duty at weather stations in Kansas and Colorado.
In June 1945, he sailed from Los Angeles for Calcutta, India. Attached to the weather service, he spent 9 months in the interior of India, where their work was to send and receive weather information for planes. For a time he was stationed at Taj Mahal, famous for its tombs.
Three months were spent in a lonely spot in the desert, which was used as a weather station and emergency landing field. Temperatures ranged to 110 in the day time and 70 at night. They were six men, three weather men, a radio man, cook and a Lieutenant in charge. During this three months, their only touch with civilization was two emergency plane landings and the supply planes.
Because the mail all came by air, Phillip received his mail from home regularly in from one to two weeks.
On his return, he left Calcutta on February 11th, arrived at San Francisco on March 8th and received his discharge at Camp McCoy on March 16th.
Before entering service, Phillip attended the University of Wisconsin as a medical student. He expects to resume his studies at the university.
