Soldier Brother

Camden Womsm Learns About
No. 1 Patriot of Century
Division.
Sirs. Hubert Wilson. Hampton St
is hiighty proud of her brother. Pfc.
Edward J. Arthur. form^^'ldSUtiv expon-
tlve aud mayor of" Union. And she
has reason to be.
For Pfc. Arthur, 50“ years of age. is
the Century iMvlalon's nominee for
Patriot No. I, on the western front.
This 5n.year-old aoTdler left ’IT
mighty nice home” two years ago to
enlist in the Army. Not content in a
rear-echelon job. he appealed to be
assignee! to a combat outfit and was
sent to the Century Division’s Quart
ermaster company.
He is the father of four children.
“But my family Is well tgken ogre of,
and I wanted to get Into the service
and help out.” he says, “so I enlisted.”
Arthur has thr^e brothers who are
full colonels on active service. He
wak him.self a commissioned officer
in the National (^uard for 12 years—
but he says he woiiJdn’t change his
present status for anything.
“Bars and stripes carrj- too much
responsibility,” is his Idea.
The ex-mayor, bank( r and auto deal
er is In his second war. In World
War 1 he was a machine-gunner in the
Fifth Regiment of the 2nd Marine
Division and fought at Champagne,
In the Argonne and at St. Mihiel.
“W’hen I returned from the last war
In 19.19, I vowed that I’d never allow
any son of mine to get Into the serv-
ice. I said then that I’d shoot him
In Ihe foot first.”
In a change of view, however,
Arthur enlisted In the National Guard
several years later, and by 1936 had
served two years as a master sergeant
and 12 years as a commissioned offi
cer. During his civilian career /In
Union, he served variously as com
mander of the American Legion post
(1930), as vice president of the Arthur
B4Mc, of which he and his three broth,
•rs are part owners, and as head of
an automobile concern.
Although training in this war came
a little tough, Arthur says he under
went the hikes with full field pack
at’Fort Scrlven, Ga., and Camp Sutton,
N. C., without too much trouble.
