Major Caleb Granger Kornagey, is back in civilian harn. ess and has taken over the supervis ion and operation of the fine funeral home here. Major Kornagey is mar ried to the former Miss Saluda Dun bar of Columbia. . Major Kornagey achieved distinc tion and honor in his army career and wears a number of medals to tell of his prowess. He also boastp of a number of citatidnd and com mendations, least of which was one from General Ike Elsenhower. Major Kornagey's splendid career hinged around his affiliation as com. mander of the 433rd Ordnance Motor Vehicle Assembly ‘Company. This unit activated in Atlanta in Septem- ber 1943, not in a freshly painte*d office with polished floors and panel ed walls, but in a small pyramidal tent, found Captain C. G. Kornagey taking command on Jan. 5, 1944. Previously connected with OTC the Captain was instrumental in working out and supervising the training on the Post. In April of that year the unit set sail on the British luxury liner Queen Elizabeth, arriving in Scotland on April 27. On May 4, the unit began its overseas production near Liverpool, England. On June 15 the unit went to Scotland by motor convoy and for four months was groomed for further duty, this time in Prance. On Aug. 12. 1944 the Unit received orders to move and within a period of thirty-six hours traveled BOO miles with its entire equipment consisting of 102 vehicles from Carnryan, Scot land to a marshalling area near Part- land, England, on the extreme south ern coast. On August 16 the first contigent of the unit landed on Utah Beach and three days later the first assembly line was set up near Isigny, FYance, about 40 miles from Cherburn. In over a period of .eight weeks in that area a total of 3,616 vehicles were assembled. consisting of GMC’s Dodges, Jeeps and trailers, ran8!ing In size from one to ten ton. Again on October 23, the Company moved and this time set up at the 11th port In Rouen, France, While in this area, 5666 vehicles had been assembled and 1335 wheeler vehicles servlcea. hese figures plus the 7,000 of task fdrce equipmenL adds up to 13,989 vehicles processed in five months. An overall figure on over seas production over a period of 11 months runs up . fO 17 896 vehicles assembled, 12,445 vehicles serviced, making a grand total of 30,341 ve hicles assembled and serviced. In addition 8,125 tons of cargo had been transported. All these vehicles if in one convoy would extend well over 1100 miles. In a typed report on the activities of this command, the following para graph speaks for Itself and reflects the pride that Major Kornegay right-' fully feels toward this epic-mahing group: "Many factors have gone into this human machine which has accounted for its success. First, . tJie.. capable leadership of its Commanding Officer. His knowledge, experience and su perb leadership have been dominant in gaining the successes that have been ours. The sincerity, loyalty and never-dle determination of each of- pe I fleer and enlisted man has made thM the 433rd fully entitled to Its life long slogan “The Best Damn Com pany", Major Kornegay returns to Cam den as the proud possesstu’ of the bronze star which was Conferred on him by General Joseph Phillips: He also wears the meritorious service plaque with one star. The citations and letters of commendation for his distinguished s^ice are Interesting reading and reflect the success that featured his leadership of important units. All rates his commands as being “superior”. One prized citation is from General Dwight Eisenhower. Major Kornegay had five different commands during his period in ser- vice. His first was that of command ing officer of a unit training center at the P’omona, Cal. Ordnance base in 1942. His second was that of conS- manding officer of a unit training center at the Atlanta, Ga., ordnance depot in 1943; his third was that of commander of the 433rd Ordnance M V A company; his fourth that of commanding officer ot Depot 0162 at Rouen, France and his fifth as depot commander of 0M8 at LeHarve, France. ■fer— if in Stone Parish ch< had a miniature Ifayrick, in sanctuary for its harvest services.
