Browning The remains of the late Sec ond Lieutenant George Blalock Browning, 22, will arrive in Newberry Saturday night and be carried to the McSwain Fun eral Home where it will remain until the hour of the services. Lt. Browning was born in Goldville (now Joanna), and was the son of Mrs. Nell Adams Browning and the late Jaimes L. Browning. He was a grad uate of Clinton High School and was a student at the Cita del at time he entered services and would have graduated from there in the class of 1944. After entering service, Lt. Browning was sent overseas and served with Company M, 335th Infantry, 84th Division, Railsplitters, and was engaged in combat through France, Hol land and Belgium. He was kill ed in action in Belgium, Jan uary 4. 1945 in the battle of the Bulge. His body was bur ied in a United State Military Cemetery at Neuville-en-Con- droz, Belgium. Lt Browning’s Silver Star ci tation reads: “For gallantry in action against the enemy in 4 January 1945, when a pla toon leader was wounded dur ing the withdrawal of his com pany under intense artillery and mortar fire. Lt. Browning assumed command and after re organizing the unit, led the pla toon in a valiant effort to re gain the lost position. In the performance of this courageous act, he lost his life. The ten acious, determined spirit, un swerving devotion to duty and commendable conduct displayed by Lt. Browning reflect the highest credit upon himself and in accordance with the fin est traditions of the military service. Lt. Browning was killed while leading a rifle pla toon of a company for which he was mortar forward observ er, after all the regular officers of the company had been kill ed or wounded. This was the third occasion that he had as sumed command of one com pany or another, when all th, officers were gone.” A young man in the same division wrote to his mother that Lt. Browning was turned in for promotion by the regi mental commander himself, a rare occurrence and that his death was mourned throughout the entire regiment. He also stated that their company had built a new athletic field and dedicated it to Lt. Browning and another officer also killed in Belgium. The field was call ed Browning-Sar, ders Field.
